I'm definitely not a high roller, but to me there's not much difference between a class Wally and $100 and just a class Wally. But there's a huge difference between winning a heads-up race in the fourth or fifth round of eliminations and losing one.

Toby why do you bother with stock eliminator where you might have a headsup run?
Don't they have high dollar no electronic races out west. There is no chance of a heads up, no teardowns. It's cheaper to enter.
Toby I think guys like you count on the guys that have big egos and want to get all they can out of their cars. There is so much dedication you can have and to work on the car to go faster all the time takes some away from driving. Giving somewhat of an advantage to guys like you that concentrate 95% on the driving.
As far as the money goes last year I was able to make $750 for a class win (thanks to Mopar) . That paid for the entry fee and part of the traveling.
