2013 FASTRAK World Championships Events Format and the Purse Payout in Beckley, West Virginia!!
**FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE** September 27th, 2013 FASTRAK PR
(Carnesville, Georgia) – Before anyone gets started. Yes the point
fund is less this year. I hate even thinking about it. However when new
series start and teams go out and support them and not us, we have no
choice. We sell fewer engines, we sell fewer tires and less income,
means less back to you. Not to mention the rain outs alone this year
equate to almost $90,000.
I honestly wish we could pay a Million to win, but when we started
there was only FASTRAK and we paid $50,000 to win. Then another and
another and another to down to $30,000 to win. Then another and down to
$20,000 to win. There have been 3 new crate series start up against us
just this year 2013. If more and more series start up sooner or later it
wont be worth anyone’s while to even have them anymore. WE NEED YOUR
HELP. HELP SUPPORT FASTRAK BECAUSE YOU’VE ALREADY SEEN US GIVE BACK TO
OUR TEAMS. You don’t have to guess if someone will or not, because we
already have. We will keep crates alive if you help us.
TOTAL POINT FUNDS AND CHAMPIONSHIP MONIES FOR 2013 IS OVER $180,000. STILL NOT BAD PAYOUT FOR A $5,500 ENGINE.
