So, we all know people run tracks because they love the sport, not because they are hoping to become the next millionaire Bruton Smith.... But I'm curious, what is the real profitability of a kart track on a weekly basis? Running some rough guesstimates:
Income - 80 racers @ $30/entry - $2400. Concessions, 100@$4 - $400. 50/50 - 60@$5 - $300. Gate fee - 50@$10 - $500....say, $3600
Expense - Lights - $200, water $200, Staffing - 6@$100 + volunteers, Concessions, - $200, track prep - $500. say $2000.
Net $1500 on a non-payout basis? That seems high, so I must be missing something... And my guesses are just that.
Just curious what the real numbers are... or a ballpark.
