During the AMSOIL Championship Snocross Series, a record
breaking $266,400 will be awarded to pro and semi pro riders this year, according
to International Series of Champions' recent press releases.
Among the rewards there will be $170,400 given as a season
purse for the "Racer's Circuit." According to the press release, the pressure
to perform will be higher this year because of the purse increasing for the
first time in ten years.
In addition, Woody's Team Challenge announced in a press
release that it will have a $86,000 purse.
These events are year-end and weekend events that are both pro and semi
pro races. These races are part of a cumulative points chase.
"The idea behind the Woody's Team Challenge is to reward
consistent performance from every rider and every member of a race team in both
the pro and semi pro classes," said Rob Mussleman, president of International
Engineering, in the press release.
Each weekend, $6,000 will be given away to the top three
teams. The best performing team will receive $3,000, the second team will
receive $2,000 and the third team will receive $1,000.
When the season closes, the top team will receive $10,000
while the second team will receive $7,500. The remaining the teams will
respectively earn $3,750, $2,500 and $1,250.
The top finishing riders in each class will receive points
for Woody's Team Challenge payout.
