With a $100 payout per class winner, it could easily be $40-50,000 to pay contingency to all class winners in one year.
They obviously did it back then, paying the same $100 or $50 for a class win!

Could it be that the ROI has changed for the parts manufacturers?

Correct I mean stk and ss had 80 plus class winner at Indy in 2001 and over 45% of them were class singles. This is when we start to see this sponsor pull back start around 2002-2004. There are currently to many classes for any kind of sponsor to support this deal. Its not rocket science. What sponsor in there right mind would sign up for paying class right now with 160 max class winners at 4-5 class paying events per year. That number needs to be closer to 80 max class winners per event.

Currently STK and SS are a performance based eliminators with no focus on performance at this time. its more like what class can I hid in so I don't get a heads up

The highest Quota for S/SS for the first 4 races (that's all they had listed) is 75 so the most class winners you could have per class is 38 assuming no one in the combo class. So there is no way in reality that you would have to pay out 160 classes.

The class paying race at points meets have no quotas.
Todays sponsors and the people they answer to want exact numbers so they can budget it. The range of what could be paid out to actually paid out is to wide.
