Back then there was top qualifier money also, I remember some went for that, as it paid their fuel bill to get to and from the races.

Someone had the Sportnationals from Diamond P ( remember them !) on facebook last week and the commentator was saying that the winner < Bobby Warren, just won 8 thousand dollars ....In 1978.... That's the same as last years US Nationals SS winner ( if everybody pays him) .....40 years later
Great post, Jeff.
