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.

I understand that but the way you wrote that up you were saying we didn’t want to race for it and that’s not true
