Don you must be one thin skinned person. With any good political deal there is a cover up.  Since those members whoever they maybe or where are gone I had to cover there tracks. Yes Don I was there from jump start. John Cope had the guts to step up and put some money on the line for everyone to play in this class. We did it on a Friday night and then again on a Saturday. The next season it became a points class. So since we are in the question mode. Who won the first Shootout which I believe was called the Moparts shootout right Don?

I put a grease fitting on the piviot point of the gas petal to keep it from catching fire from being on and off the trottle and got to race Eric in the semis, I also agree this is a needed rule change to help level the field for the heavier cars. It is extremly hard to slow down an 8 secound car to 10.00, more luck than cents, but a lot of fun trying. Big Dog
There you go again Larry, rubbing it in. For all that wasn't there, Larry showed me how well that grease fitting works in the first round. It got a lot of use against my turd. That deep staging takes my 10.0-10.teen turd to a 10.20 car in a hurry and i realized I was out classed at both ends of the track. Will I do it again? More then likely. I was LMAO while running Larry because I could he him jacking the throttle over my car.
As for the .500 tree, bring it on. Beep

I have an idea...why don't you atleast pay the entry fee for semi's at the PRP main event?....Last year there were three cars left and I walked away with $50....obviously you kept the other semi-finalist cash and I understand that...but 6 rounds of racing at an $85 race for a $50 payout is rather insulting. I attend that race mainly to support BGR and to see other Moparts members but I'm sure there are others who see the payout and stay home. 
At my local track's weekly race:
Footbrake: Win 2nd round (3rd round losers), you get 75% of entry, win 3rd round and you get 150% of your entry.
Electronics: Win 2nd round (3rd round losers), you get 80% of entry, win 3rd round and you get 160% of your entry.
Page 5 has payouts:

Somehow they need to cover the cost of a multiday event. But a hard core racer with limited money to spend, and a local tow, would rather see something like $50 for the Sunday only race with 1 time trial, and $20 for the test passes on Sat (optional). But no matter how you slice it, $75 for semifinals is weak in an 8 round race (semi=7th). There is a "Raider ET Challenge" mini series (8 races) near me that is a huge success. All races are 2-day double header weekends (1 race Sat, 1 Sun): 4 races at Maryland International Raceway 2 races at Virginia Motorsports Park 2 races at Richmond Dragway Typical 8 round races (big turnout). http://www.mirdrag.com/v2/flyers/event/pdf/2010/10_raider_brochure.pdfMOD ET: $2000 WIN, $500 R/U, $150 Semi, $25 round money, $44.50 each race ($89 for weekend 2 races) TOP ET: $5000 WIN, $1000 R/U, $250 Semi, $40 round money, $84.50 each race ($169 for weekend 2 races) So in TOP, sixth round loser gets $160, which is double your entry fee; and the Semis get 3 times entry Last year in one of those I went to the finals in MOD ET and got $900 for R/U. As I recall we pulled some money down and it went like this: $1100 Winner $ 900 R/U $ 300 Semis (7th round, 2 racers lost) $ 200 Quarters (6th round, 4 racers lost) $ 75 5th round losers $ 50 4th round losers $ 25 3rd round losers (pays $25 round starting 2nd round WIN)
