Just a friendly mid-week reminder!

I personally looked forward to this event until I seen the modified payout 2nd isn't even 50% of 1st and the rest of the way back is just barely above normal pay. For the wear and tear on the racer and crew you would think if the mods was truly wanted at these events the pay would be a little closer to par.
