National and Divisional events are guaranteed payouts. $1200 win $750 runner up(at least in D7 and the few D6 races I have been to) and for a National event it is $1800 to win and $1200 r/u. Payouts don't change with car count and start at round three. Divisonal entry is $165 and Nationals are $310 with the mandatory $100 insurance. Contingency pays $300 per deal for winner and $100 for R/U at Nats and $100 and $50 at the divison level. There are some exceptions to that such as Mother Mopar who actually pays much better contingency. Just FYI
