Harley-Davidson announced today its 2018 American Flat Track Contingency Program totaling $562,500 the largest contingency posting in the 65-year history of the sport. The contingency payouts are available exclusively to privateer riders mounted on either Harley-Davidson XG750R or XR750 machines. A total of $31,250 will be offered by Harley-Davidson at each of the 18 American Flat Track rounds in 2018. The contingency payout is structured as follows: 1. $10,000 2. $8,000 3. $6,000 4. $2,000 5. $1,500 6. $1,250 7. $1,000 8. $750 9. $500 10. $250 | ||

Crusty do you have any idea how much any of the other manufactures are paying out in contingency money. | ||

According to the AFT site: Indian Motorcycle Racings contingency structure breaks down by the following: Championship - $25,000 1st - $5,000 2nd - $4,000 3rd - $3,000 4th - $2,000 5th - $1,000 6th - $900 7th - $800 8th - $700 9th - $600 10th - $500 I don't know about any of the other marques. I think that with money like that being poured into Flat Track, the privateers will have more incentive, and the fields will soon fill out more. We'll see more entries per event than what we've seen in a long time. Now, if only the promoters would step up and increase the purse size... |
