Race winner trophies are staying the same...



How many do YOU have?

 

Good stuff Cliff!

 

Nice! i could use 1200bucks haha

 

I think FIS is a little low. Our Woodburn event last month had what over 40 entries?

 

Damn too bad Fontana's Dragway got shut down.... but on the bigger payout

 

 

Biggest class at the Columbus event as well...

 

step up and run FWD then

 

Nice!!! Diesel prices aren't dropping

 

There's a reason FIS payouts are low and FWD/FIP payouts are increasing... SO MORE RACERS WILL STEP UP!

 

Have the 9second 350z and low 10second evos with no cages step up to FIP

Who knows Paul maybe by Sept I will have a car worthy of running FWD, hell with the way the FIS class went I might as well go FWD and get beat out there lol.

Props to Cliff though for raising the payouts and attempting to get the racer count up!!

 

FWD class racer here. 3 years running

 

good to see FIP is finally equal to FWD.. I still find it funny that OL the fastest class where cars like Titan, Sound Performance and Big Daddy has one of the lowest payouts.. Never gonna get those big name teams to show with 350$ payout..

-Sam

 

Nice work Cliff.

 

Nice! Now if you just had trophies you could show your kids. LOL

 

he said before that they have an optional sticker.

 

Read the website. It's all there, always has been. They DO have the biggest payout ($2000) if they show up, which they do in Florida. Last event four of them split it four ways, $500 each. Their payout is actually a $4000 Q16 at the next South Florida event, plus a $1600 Hot Rod class added. Most anywhere else in the country, OL is just the "left over" class for cars that do not fit into any other category. We're not going to advertise a $2k OL payout gimmick when we know there are nowhere near 8 cars in the area to fill it.

 

As always, optional IFO winner generic trophy label available for those who want it.

 

Thanks Cliff! Keep up the good work!

 

Thank you Cliff/Import faceoff!

In this day and age its almost unheard of, of any traveling series, adding to the payoff. As an ex promotor i know how hard it is to make it work. Congratulations on some of the big crowds you've had this year, and thanks again for giving more back!, Joe Laramee/Performance Porting Service
