Pay-out Structure:
In both classes’ semi-final losers win $400, quarter-final losers get $200 and round of 16 losers earn $100 each. These are set amounts regardless of car count. The remaining funds are split with 70% to the winner and 30% to the runner-up in each class. Also, the sponsorship money is split 60/40 between Box and No Box.
Here are two examples based on the traditional # of entries for this race:
Box Class with 60 entries:
60 entries x $40= $2400
Sponsor funds (60% of $7500) = $4500
Total purse in Box = $6900
*Box winner: $3150
* Runner-up: $1350 Semi-final finish: $400 Quarter-final finish: $200 Round of 16 (or less) finish: $100 * Will vary based on # of entries
No Box Class with 100 entries:
100 entries x $40= $4000
Sponsor funds (40% of $8000) = $3000
Total purse in No Box = $7000
*No Box winner: $3220
*Runner-up: $1380 Semi-final losers: $400 Quarter-final losers: $200 Round of 16 (or less) losers: $100 *Will vary based on # of entries
