Jeff, TA454 is right about this year being "the last straw". I'm happy for you for winning some money, but in my opinion, you were cheated out of money. The classes were combined, but the purses weren't, plain and simple. $600 take home is a nice little chunk, but when you consider the Pontiac class you WOULD HAVE run in was paying $400 to win, what does that say about the purse to win in the Nostalgia class? It would have only paid $200 to win? I think not. Somewhere there is between $200-$400 in prize money missing that YOU should have been paid, but if you're ok with $600, so be it.
The runner up and semi-finalist in the Pontiac class you would have run in were to be paid $300 and $100 respectively. What did the Nostalgia-1 R/U get paid? The semi-finalist didn't get paid anything, where'd that $100 of Pontiac money go since the classes were combined?
George Case fleeced the racers AND the sponsors on this deal, you just can't see it because you drove home with some money in your pocket.
