Skagit Speedway is pleased to announce the purses for all classes have been increased by over $19,000 for the regular weekly shows. The following is the highlights of the increases:
The 360 Sprint Class will increase from $1,400 to $1,600 to win and 2nd place from $900 to $1,000. The start money has increased from $220 to $300.
Sportsman Sprints will increase from $600 to $700 to win and 2nd from $350 to $400.The Start money has increased from $120 to $150.
Modified Class will increase the start money from $100 to $125 and added money to each position all the way up to 6th place.
Midget Class will increase the start money from $80 to $100 with added money to each position all the way up to 4th place.
There has also been an increase for the B mains in all classes (above the $19,000).
In addition to the weekly purses there has been an increase to the purse on Friday night of the 360 Summer Nationals from $1,500 to win to $1,600 and from $250 to start to $300 to start.
The Washington Modified Tour will increase from $500 to $600 to win and added money to each position through 18th at $125 (up from $100).
As was suggested and discussed at the owners meeting, part of the purse increase will be derived from a small pit pass increase (the average team will spend $10-$20 more per –night and will be racing for $20 to $80 and as much as $200 more per night. The balance of the purse increases will come from the anticipated grandstand attendance increases.
We hope to announce in the next few days a paid race program for the Tuner class. That is almost completed.
