Bounties, an interesting wrinkle to an interesting sport

JP1738 · 05-28-2024, 10:19 AM

Something fun for everyone today, would love to hear some input or stories.

Lately I've been on a roll in my bracket car and I've won a couple outlaw 6.00 index races in a row. One at Rockingham, Shadyside, and this past weekend at Mooresville (low car count but two rounds of buy backs had it go 5 rounds). I'm going through nitrous like it's going out of style at the moment. I've had so much luck in it recently that an acquaintance and fellow die-hard index racer decided to put up $100 to anyone who eliminated me from the race. I thought it was fun and have no objection. My question is: How would you all react to something like this? Has anyone ever had a bounty on them? And do you think I should have earned the bounty myself by failing to lose?

I hope this doesn't come off as chest-beating, I just thought it was fun and would love to hear other's thoughts.

(I can move this to another thread given it's not STK/SS related but I wanted to put it where it'd get more traffic)
