Also, there is more exciting news from the El Paso Motorplex in that there will be a Guaranteed $500 Purse in the Top Eliminator class with a 2 car minimum. The track points will be a battle as they are putting $3000 into the points to be split among the classes to guarantee minimum of $300 payout to the points leader at the end of the season, the points will be $20 per racer, and their points money will go towards the final payouts for their class, increasing the money to the season winners.  Each class will pay 1st, 2nd and 3rd place in the points standings with trophies for the same. They also are offering a "Second Chance" race at each event, where everyone but the winner for that night can race again for $100 winner and $50 runner up.
