2015 World 100 - $93,000 to win??

[wfo2007]

Did anyone else hear at Eldora that this years World 100 will pay $93,000 in honor of Earl Baltes? I was curious and it would be interesting if true.

I can't see Earl wanting it that way. Since the race started in 1971 the winners purse has only increased by a $1,000 each year.

Why 93, why not another 100??

The World $100,000 to win 100...

I wondered the same thing but thought possibly had to do with Earl being 93 when he passed. Probably no truth to it but wanted to see if anyone heard anything.

Would NOT do anything of the sort. Keep it as it has been, and just find ways to honor Earl. Nice idea, but just wouldn't do it imo.

I was glad to see that banner of him. It was a very nice display of gratitude, and as a big fan of his it meant alot! Thanks Eldora!!

2015 Dream will be talked about for a very long time! Not only abuot the switch back heartbreak, but man what a great race!
