It was also an added bonus Keith to the racers. The funds were not there to do a full event. I worked on every avenue there was, and nobody was interested. The sponsors that were interested wanted to be involved in making the .90 events more payouts which we are doing. Remember Bill Phillips and W&T Pipeline were a major investment into the Top 8 shootout and paid out 90% of all the payouts the past 3-4 years we did the event, unfortunately with Bill's passing that is a supporter that will not be coming back. Even if I paid out $800 to the winner x 3 classes and runner-up, semis and 1st round loss, you're looking at $6,000. Jerry is putting up $750 for the 3 classes, if you can find me the support to cover the other 5,250, I'd be glad to get the Top 8 shootout back up and running but, until now, this is the best alternative to this.
