Title: prize money
Post by: phils toys on September 04, 2006, 10:30:43 PM
just curious as to the average prize money that can be won at a demo. I elected out of my usual demo and watched my brother in law(17) and nephew(17) run in the demo.My nephew made it to 4th in his heat, but the over all winner  receives $2,000, 2nd $800 and breaks down from there. also the same 2 brothers win every year. maybe next year one of you regular demo drivers can dethrone them.
by the way it is always on labor day at stateline speedway in busti ,NY.   today they did announce they will have another on Oct 7  but did not say what the prize money will be.

well depends on where you run and who puts it on some places pay great some pay very very poorly the most ive seen paid to 1st in compact was $600-800 in full size it was about $800- $1200 both breaking down from there , the worst is my hometown demo jacksonville ill. 1st in full size is $300 and i think compact is $100-$200

try looking on www.wecrash.com they have demo prize money listed for just about every where

  300 to 500 for 1st  100 to 200 for 2nd around here.  Anybody go to the ones at the superdome?, we get flyers for it and they are advertising 10,000 to win.

Were going to a big one in Iowa on saturday. It pays great.
$2000 to win compacts, $3000 for 80 and newer fullsize, and $1250 for 1 ton trucks.
With a $500 hard hitter award for each class.
Most of ours in Missouri pay between $400 and $600 and the lowest ive seen is 100% payback which is usually 15 cars or less that show up.


Im taking a SX4, dads got a pinto sedan, and my brother has a pacer for Iowa.
