My $700 comment in the Pro 4 topic was an error. I'm sorry. The Race ad is correct, it is $500. I am a big supporter of the Sportsman class. IMO, most purses are not where we want them to be for lots of reasons, which get debated here all the time.

PPMS has given all paid divisions a series of special events trying various purse & lap structure.

20 lap Sportsman purse 10/5: $500, 250, 200, 150, 125, 120, 115, 110, 105, 100, 75, 50 to start. Our purse is available anytime in advance for any event by emailing me with the contact emails on our website.

"Our" sport is in a difficult time, time for all of us to do what we can to help it IMO. It's "our" choice.

...take a friend to your local speedway. Make a difference in "our" sport.

this is the first time i even seen this ad. i could be wrong but all the other ads said $700 to win ?

That's pretty low, mister. If I had a rubber hose, I would beat you...

Haha...good one Scruff! Matt better watch out, cutting the purse like this could lead to a big man in a blue leisure suit coming to grab him in an rv!! YOU READY TO DO SOME KISSIN!

Lol........

What was the racer appreciation last week ? was it the free hats and stickers? At 40 bucks to get in it seemed more like promoter appreciation to me.

So why then is it $35 to get in the pits??

Wow....I just don't know what to say. * There was a big stink that the Ed Laboon race was a raised gate ($35). Vince defended Matt because the "standard" Sportsman Shootout was paid by the speedway ($700 to win ...$100 to start).... now they cut the purse and keep the gate full raised gate.... REALLY? *Sharon is having a $1000 to win open stock show... and on a regular show they pay $50 to $75 to start, based on car count, so that at least matches the $50 to start at Pgh. As well at $3000 to win late models and 2 other divisions. pit pass:$35 *Sportsman Spectacular at Lernerville earlier this month. $2000 to win.... paid $150 to start. Gate was $30 for non Dirt-car members, $20 for members. I broke in the B main and still got $50. I'm not trying to bash .... but when you look at all of this as a whole...

advertise a purse all year then cut it a couple days before the race after the competitors have purchased what they need to be there?

since no one else will say it..

I hope they choke on it.
