Bounties, an interesting wrinkle to an interesting sport
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)

Our s/ss combo had a bounty on the winner the race before. Never wore one and had opportunity to win but struck out.

Re: Bounties, an interesting wrinkle to an interesting sport
We used to have a bounty on the winner of the previous divisional in D3. I do not know if there was any money in it, but I believe there were cupcakes given to whoever beat them. That was neat. I did not ever hear it get announced last year though.

CCRA provides $100.00 bounty to whoever takes out the previous race winner.

We have it in Division 1, take out the winner of the last event and claim your prize.

Re: Bounties, an interesting wrinkle to an interesting sport
I have put a bounty on a couple of my buddies at our Arkansas Motorsports Hall of fame races... One wife got real mad until her hubby won the Event and collected the extra $100. My buddy thought it was a good deal he had 3 red lights against him in an 8 round race.
It was all in fun...

Re: Bounties, an interesting wrinkle to an interesting sport
The Atlantic Canadian Stock/SuperStock Association has had a Bounty Hunter Reward since we started in 2010. For Race 1 of each season the Bounty is on the previous season's Points Champ, then after that it goes on the Winner of the previous race. Beat the racer with the Bounty on his head and you get $50, but if that racer defeats all comers and repeats his win he gets the $50, and the Bounty on his head at the next race doubles to $100. It adds a bit of fun and is something else for the announcer and spectators to get behind.

Re: Bounties, an interesting wrinkle to an interesting sport
When I was pulling into the lanes this weekend an official stopped me and handed me an envelope with $100 in it thanks to Porta-tree for the super gas bounty at Cecil. I had no idea I had even won that. I do know division one has had the bounty Hunter program for at least three years now

Re: Bounties, an interesting wrinkle to an interesting sport
Reinhart has done this for sportsman racing a few times. Pretty cool.
