CLASS RACER FORUM - View Single Post - Where have all the contingencies gone??? WOW!!!

Calculate how many classes there are in say Stock Eliminator. Now multiply that number by the dollar amount posted for a win in each class. Example: 50 classes X $100 = $5,000. That is the amount that a sponsor has to pony up at a race for class winners. If there are only 20 class winners, there is only $2,000 paid out, guess where the other $3,000. goes.

If sponsors were involved like we are talking about in this thread, then the payouts would probably increase as the sponsor is only paying out what is deserved, and is still able to keep the rest.

Of course NHRA is not going to be very happy about this scenario.
