Walt, great question!..I must say in my 50+ years around racing, I have never heard a promoter/ owner admit to making a profit. I guess some of those briefcasses/ overnight bags/ suitcasses I saw going into the trunks of their cars, as they feft, were filled with leftover hot dogs & rolls..But on the other hand, I think it was much easier to turn a profit years ago, compared to now..My question has always been, "If they are losing money, why & how do they continue to opperate"?..Must be that they save money on their food budget at home, with those hot dogs & rolls..lol.
