As announced a few weeks ago, we have a new purse structure in effect for 2015. Here is that information:
The Sprint Cars, Modifieds and SportMods will each have a higher total purse than in 2014...plus on any regularly scheduled night, if there are over 20 cars in each of those divisions, even higher purse structures will be in effect!
Here's how it works:
Sprint Cars and Modifieds (both have exact same purse structures):
In 2014, the total A-feature purse was $4,250. In 2015, the base purse is $4,290 and will be distributed as follows: $700 - 500 - 400 - 350 - 300 (5th) - 250 - 200 - 180 - 160 - 150 (10th) - 140 - 130 - 120 - 110 - 100...to start.However, if there are 21 or more Sprint Cars or Modifieds (in their respective divisions), then the total purse jumps from $4,290 to $5,180!
The '21 and up' purse for the Sprints and Modifieds is as follows: $700 - 500 - 400 - 350 - 300 (5th) - 250 - 225 - 200 - 190 - 180 (10th) - 170 - 160 - 150 - 140 - 135 (15th) - 130 - 125...to 24th! (Note 24 starters, not 20!)
For the IMCA Southern SportMods, the total purse has jumped from $2,210 (in 2014) to $2,370 (in 2015) and will be distributed as follows: $400 - 300 - 200 - 170 - 150 (5th) - 130 - 120 - 100 - 90 - 80 (10th) - 75 - 70 - 65 - 60...to start.
However, the same '21 cars and up' applies to the IMCA Southern SportMods! If there are 21 cars or more on a normally scheduled night, the total A-feature purse jumps from $2,370 to $3,115!
The '21 cars and up' IMCA Southern SportMod A-feature purse is as follows: $500 - 300 - 250 - 200 - 175 (5th) - 150 - 130 - 120 - 110 - 100 (10th) - 90 - 85 - 80 - 75...to 24th! (Note 24 starters, not 20!)
Drivers in these three divisions (above): what this means is you are in more control of your purse structure. If you help rally other drivers in your division to support RRS in 2015, you will be rewarded by getting paid more at each normal event! If you help us, we will help you!The 2015 new structure translates into a 'base' purse of $14,100 to $16,500 each and every night at Red River Speedway in 2015!
The only nights when this policy is not in effect is when there is a special event in that particular division, and those purses will be posted in advance...for example, on USMTS or OCRS nights where there is a bigger purse already.
The Pro Stocks/I-Stock (100% IMCA legal Stock Cars are now legal to run in the Pro Stock division in 2015) and Factory Stocks will each be competing for the following purse structure - unless otherwise noted: $300 - 200 - 180 - 160 - 140 - 120 (5th) - 100 - 80 - 60 - 40...to start.
The Mini Stocks will be competing for the following purse structure - unless otherwise noted: $300 - 150 - 125 - 100 - 80 - 60 - 40...to start.
Pro Stock and IMCA Stock Car drivers: we are allowing 100% IMCA legal Stock Cars to race in the Pro Stock division in 2015. There is no mixing/matching of rules allowed from one division to the other. You must run either the posted RRS Pro Stock rules - or 2015 IMCA Stock Car rules to race in this division. No exceptions.
