Recently approved by the SCCA Board of Directors, the Runoffs Appearance Fund is a modern version of the former “Tow Fund” that existed until 2015. It is a self-funded contingency program that will pay out to Runoffs participants who finish atop a Majors Tour conference points championship or in the Hoosier Racing Tire Super Tour points standings.
Deanna Flanagan, SCCA’s Road Racing Director, explained that the number of positions paid will be determined by the average car count per class throughout the U.S. Majors Tour season.
“The old tow fund had its flaws, but the premise behind it is something that has been missed based on the consistent requests for the program to return,” Flanagan said. “The commitment involved in racing for a championship is significant, and the Runoffs Appearance Fund recognizes those who have carried their success during the season into the National Championship event.
“Since the elimination of the tow fund, we have seen a smaller percentage of top points finishers compete at the Runoffs,” Flanagan continued. “The new program provides additional incentive and supports our goal of encouraging the best of the best to attend the Runoffs.”
