Supplemental Round money in Div. 5

It’s pathetic when you lose in the semis and don’t even get your entry fee back.

I wish this was explained better as well. It would be nice if they posted more about it and really let everyone know. I think it is a great idea, just needs to be ran a little better!

I just saw that in D7 they were paid $2000 for a divisional win. And sounds like D4 is the same? How is this possible when a national only pays $1500?

It's a good thing we don't do this for money.........right?

We have been doing a Calcutta at our Great Lakes Stock/Super stock races this year also. Last weekend we walked the lanes on the last qualifying run and did a $25 buy in for anyone that wanted to join in. 36 entries bought in to race for more money and 22 didn’t want to which is fine. Our winner Saturday night Mike Warren in his V/SA 69 camaro cashed in on a extra $900 to go with his $2,000 for winning the race. This is our way of keeping the entry fee lower for the racers that just want to come out and have fun while those that don’t mind a little higher entry fee getting to race for some extra cash.

I’m in if someone wants to do the Calcutta thing in St Louis.

I was another of the 19 that paid the extra $35. I guess I am surprised there were only 19. Like Steffanie I have been to a national event and lost in the 5th round and didn't get back the entry fees for the car and 2 extra crew. I figured with 95% of the extra 35 bucks going to the 2 competitors that went the furthest it was money well spent.

Does anyone know who did get extra money in Earlville?
