The 16th Annual SUPER SATURDAY BRACKET BASH goes August 24th at Greenfield Dragway. This annual big dollar event continues to draw each year with 162 entries in 2018. Almost $14,000 was paid out last year with pay-outs extending back to the Round of 16! We saw Bill Sheppard take home $3600 for the win in No Box and Josh Goodwin pocket $3200 for his Box victory!
Here are the Super Saturday specifics and payout structure examples (keeping in mind the # of entries and final sponsorship amounts may change the purse for the winner and runner-up. Semi, quarter and round of 16 payouts are set amounts).

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
Estimated 20 buy-backs x $20= $400
Sponsor funds (60% of $6000) = $3600
Total purse in Box = $6400
*Box winner: $2800
* Runner-up: $1200 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:
90 entries x $40= $3600
Estimated 35 buy-backs x $20= $700
Sponsor funds (40% of $6000) = $2400
Total purse in No Box = $6700
*No Box winner: $3010
*Runner-up: $1290 Semi-final losers: $400 Quarter-final losers: $200 Round of 16 (or less) losers: $100 *Will vary based on # of entries
