That's only one of the reasons why I have no plans to own a brand X machine! I'm already looking forward to a rematch next year (with a different outcome, of course). Am I the only one who got an unsigned check?

It is signed but they did mis-spell my name for the fourth year in a row..Guess I should check before I leave huh. Anyway loosing to the track in the semis of Q16 I guess is not so bad. At least I lost to the eventual winner. My last four races this year have been 3 semis and a final so I feel ok so far... Better than the NHRA/The Strip. Still waiting on my check from the Divisional a couple of weeks ago "I am not ashamed to confess I am ignorant of what I do not know." "It's never wrong to do the right thing"

It broke a couple of rods and the block. We are not sure what let go first but the final resault was a crash. That is why he went for the ride he did. It oiled the tires and sent him into the wall.

Fig, if you don't mind, PM me with what you received. I'm curious how they worked the pay scale on this "100% payback" class. 11.33 @ 118.46 on motor 10.75 @ 125.35 w/ a little spray Now, high Speed Open Road Racing - Silver State Classic Challenge, Nevada Open Road Challenge, Big Bend Open Road Race Rocky Mountain Race Week 2020, 2022 2.0, Sick Week 2023

It was supposed to be 100% payback if there was more than 16 cars, there were 17. They called back and apologized, they young lady doing the payout was not aware of the payback promise. The first check I received was for $200, the other check has arrived but I can't get it until tomorrow. I'll let you know how much it was. The winner's first check was $250, don't know about his make-up check. I have a video of our race, I'll figure out a way to post it for you. Allen 1937 Plymouth R/S Coupe 440/727

So the winner should get $1500 and runner up $700 . This is assuming they dont refigure and up all the payouts.The slant six guys were supposed to pay $50 per round win as advertised and done the last two years but they only paid winner and runner up.No round money.This issue comes up at every race at every track,the payouts are drastically cut even when its a so called guaranteed payout,due to low car count,but they dont up it when car count exceeds expectations.

That is grounds for a lawsuit. At least never show up again, and let everyone know. I try to stress the importance of written payout for everything. Otherwise it is a waste of good oil/gas/fossil fuels, etc. Not to mention your time and effort.
