There are 9 Pure Stock Classes.
My company is willing put some skin in the game.
Mike was telling me there maybe a huge U/SA Challenge as well.
Seems to be a very popular class of cars competing which would be very cool.
So would like feedback and anyone wanting to add to the pot.
Here is my pledge, since there are 9 Pure Stock classes.
My company will donate $900 purse money for a $75/$25 Win/RUP Money.
Not a lot but a $100 for each Class. More would help.
Then Mike suggested maybe having a Pure Stock only race-off of all the Pure Stock Classes.
So if anyone wanted to donate some money to bring up the Purse winnings.
Here is an opportunity help bring in more entries.
In fact this would be a cool opportunity for all the Sportsman Classes.
Sponsors for each class.
Another thought, combine all the independent S/SS Series with representatives pitting each Series against each other for S/SS World Champion bragging rights. Each Series tossing in some money for a pot.
The objective is to create the biggest and best multi-opportunity Sportsman Challenge race ever in drag racing. Plus the POINTS MEET.
Which means pledging donations from all kinds of organizations and individuals to increase the Purses and excitement.
Hell video tape put it on TV taking a few sessions away from Pinks All Out.
Your 2 cents is appreciated.

I would like to be the 2nd person to thank Dan for the commitment to put up money for the PS class payouts.
Sounds like a great idea.
There's no way I could win the I/PS class, but it would be cool to enter.
Heck, I still have the stock 1995 torque convertor in the car.
IMO, the Pure Stock class is the essence of entry level class racing. Very restricted rules and few options available makes the challenge even more fun.
Now....if I could only figure out how to get 2 cars to the event...
