They wanted the W.R. Grace Cup to go to a funny car. But they were terrible at math. And that was when Wally and company ran the show.

It would have been nice if NHRA would have posted the EXACT amounts they are paying for the champions of the CLASS elims points chase.
For example.... MOPAR pays for 5 different products if you win class at sportsnationals... Does that mean they will pay $500 to the champs for each of those 5 products again? (or will they only pay once - $500 only). That's a $2000 swing that might have made a person think twice about going to Vegas! (believe me!)

Here is what it takes. We have to win A/SA with at least 4 rounds, we have to take out the other leader in A/SA, and we have to run 1.28 under the index, which we think we can do to win. What we win? Who knows. Jeff Teuton

I guess my main point was that this was to be a good thing for the sportsman class racer but was not highlighted enough by NHRA for us all to know exactly what was going on. I think Wes has the best shot at winning it.

The class points champion for each of the 4 SS/STK classes will receive a divisional championship size Wally and leather jacket. Also the champs will receive $500 from each of the class sponsors that they qualify for. This info was given to me by Charlie Nelsons of NHRA at the 2011 Topeka Nationals .
Tim the $500 amount was posted sometime back in april. I only have a hard copy that I printed off at that time. Left for Las Vegas at 6am this morning(Michigan time). As of 7pm today we have 1482 miles to go.
