Thanks, Dave! Don't know about a payout, never been in a position to worry about it before. I know I get a "Gold Card" that is good for free entry for the class all next year.

nitro: I won't name the bum but it is the guy I ran in the Street Eliminator final if you check the results. All in all, I have found the Bandimere racers to be really classy guys and have helped me out of a lot of binds. The starting line shenanigans are pretty rare occurrence but every basket has a few bad apples.
