In addition, the 4-Cylinder Stocks have been added to the agenda following the washout.
Through sponsorship efforts by the family of Bill Thomas, the purse of this year’s event has been enhanced for the 270cc and 600cc Micro-Sprints. All finishing places from second on back through the field will be increased. The take the green money is now $80. In addition, a $50 hard-charger award will be up for grabs in each of the Micro-Sprint feature events.
