For the keystone national I believe it’s $500. And it’s only payed to 1. What happens to the other $500 they would have to pay if there were 4 cars in the semis? And thanks for the kind words
They make it hard to find the payouts and you have to wait for the Mail to find out.

Stephanie, you hit it right on the head. when you make it down to the last 4-6 cars in your class at a national event, and you don't even receive enough money to cover the entry cost to the event, there is something wrong! I complained to NHRA when I made it down to the last 6 cars in Super Street at the National event this year, and only received $250. This was at a National event! How much money is involved in a National event compared to a Divisional event? WAY more I'm sure. So why is the payout so low?
By the way, NHRA's response was to tell me that they have a Lucrative contingency program, if I was disappointed in the payout for Super Street class, maybe I should look into this program. Funny, Contingency money is only available for the winner and runner up. I specifically told them I made it down to the last 6 cars. Guess they just disregarded that fact that I pointed out.
By the way, Great job Keith Meyers in Super Gas this past weekend at Maple Grove, guess it doesn't matter which class you run in, you are a great racer.
