How are they different.

Win $50,000
R/U $20,000
Semi $7,500
1/4 $4,000
7th Rd $2,500
6th Rd $2,000
5th Rd $1,500
4th Rd $1,000
3rd Rd $500

Entry $999. 3 days @ $50,000 + $20,000 warm up race, that is 4 events per week

What does a National event that takes 4 days pay out? What is the entry fee?
Tell me again why it won't work for Stk SS.

Don't forget buybacks are a large part of the purse and buybacks will not be well received by class racers(I am one or them).

I went to the big money race at SGMP. It was a great time. Anyone that didnt go missed a awesome event. Lots of good food and a big party one evening. The weather wasnt totally cooperative and they had to group two of the 20k races into one 40K race. That was the only hiccup. There was a some issues with the timing and ladder but that got resolved pretty quickly. They had about 160 cars there and I thought that they reached a break even point at near that number. I was hoping that there would be another one of those events this year. Bo returned to Pro Stock, Line retired from Pro Stock and I am not sure if Connley is still working for what was KB Racing. I know he has a shock business that he is operating. All of this might have had some effect on more events. I was surprised that more didnt show up with that amount of money on the line.
