Ralph Latham Full Payout

[weatherman85]

Anyone know the full payout for this event? I can only find the North/South Payout on their website.

Thanks

[mskdorf]

I believe it is on the Florence site under N/S header. I think I saw it there yesterday.

That kinda sucks

[TackyTracker]

was wondering if some guys will hold back racing tonight to try and save equipment for the N/S...

[formercrewguy]

After 1st place it's a nosebleed on down! ......Not good.

[plunks7]

Take 10,000.00 off the top. And put it towards the bottom half. Decent payout for everyone. Just a thought.

[cutman]

I believe it paying $30000 because it's the 30th anniversary. The payout through the field probably didn't change.

[Highside Hustler25]

I would only expect 8-10 cars see the checkered flag

This is outright horrible. With the way everyone has been raving about this payout I expected it to be quite a bit better, needs another 3-4k thrown in minimum. I do agree with the fact that not many cars will finish. If you are 12th and not making ground you can park it and save 30 laps on your motor and lose $20, or run the rest of the race and best case scenario you might make an additional... $80? This is just the normal $10 to win purse with $20k added on top right?

30th anniversary= 30,000 to win

[MRM]

It looks to be a $12,000 to win purse with first place bumped up to $30k. Like others have said, it was probably bumped because it's an anniversary race.

[cutman]

They could of just cancelled the race all together after the rain in June. Why don't you applaud the track for rescheduling and still putting up the original purse.

[TS FAN]

The Latham is a 10,000 to win event. Take that and then look at the pay down. As was mentioned, the 30,000 is a one time anniversary to win special.
No driver will skip the Latham. BTW, why is anyone worried about the pay down? Does it affect the racing itself.? LOL

Some people like to bellyache. Usually about nothing that really affects them. LOLOL

It does if guys deep in the pack not going anywhere are pulling off.

[TUTY]

Give them Credit!

[bigq11]

If I remember correctly from when this was announced at last year's Ralph Latham Memorial, the family was instrumental in securing the extra funds for a $30,000 to win race for the 30th annual Memorial race.

You answer that, does it? Keep up the good work, Loyal Local. :)

[Bigracer93]

They made it 30k because of the 30th year or something so all they did was make it 30 to win instead of 12, no other changes.

[TDRacin®]

Looks to me like it's a race TO WIN! I like it!

[berrystrawz]

Welcome to the new Bernie Sanders America! Michael Phelps has 18 gold medals but Yoko slong dirka dirka has 0 how many medals should Michael Phelps give the loser?

A. 0 cuz hes a fukin looser!
B. 9 so they both feel warm n fuzzy
OR
C. 18 cuz yoko haz da dumbz n yoko to lazy to ever get 18 n Michael can always work twice as hard to get 18 more to give someone else?

It's a slippery slope to C.

[cutman]

It does if guys deep in the pack not going anywhere are pulling off.

So they wouldn't pull off if it was $12000 to win with same payout?

Cutman- its stated best right here.

That doesn't answer my question. If the race were $12000 instead of the one time $30000, is there more incentive not pull off with the same money paying through the field. If it were 12 or 30, the rest of the spots pay the same.

[NormP]

I personally think the whining we see here is a great way to say thanks to the family of Ralph Latham for working to get $30,000 for the 30th anniversary race.

I mean after all, that top heavy purse is really going to hurt all of us here at 4m, isn't it? It's really taking food off our table for sure!

I guess those race teams are much dumber than we are, since 65 of them decided to give it a go last night.

[old fan]

you guys b@tching about the pay off here is the answer pay the difference or don't complain every race knew what the pay out was when they pulled into the gate

[TackyTracker]

looked like a pretty good race

[old fan]

Hey someone has to pay the lab for ole bloomer
