I had to go back and reread the release twice to make sure that I wasn\u2019t misunderstanding it. Contingency money? In historic racing? It\u2019s certainly a bold new direction, but for some, I would think this tantamount to one of the seven signs of the historic racing apocalypse.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">So how does this program work you may ask? According to LoM, there are four categories of cars eligible for the prize money: Historic Grand Prix; Thunder and Lightning\/AP, BP, AS, BS, CP; Formula Ford; and Classic Monoposto\/Formula B. Cars within these run groups must have \u201cFord Racing\u201d decals displayed on each side of the car, forward of the rear wheel well to be eligible. Cash prizes will be awarded for 1st place ($300), 2nd place (200) and 3rd place ($100), in each of the abovementioned divisions for cars displaying the stickers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<style>\n        .memberful-global-teaser-content > :last-child{\n            -webkit-mask-image: linear-gradient(180deg, #000 0%, transparent);\n            mask-image: linear-gradient(180deg, #000 0%, transparent);\n        }\n    <\/style>\n<div class='memberful-global-marketing-content'>\n<div class=\"cs-paywall\">\n<div class=\"cs-paywall__card\">\n<div class=\"cs-paywall__top\"><span class=\"cs-paywall__label\">Members only<\/span><span class=\"cs-paywall__price\">$29 <em>\/ year<\/em><\/span><\/div>\n<h2 class=\"cs-paywall__title\">Keep going. <span>This is where it gets good.<\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"cs-paywall__lead\">Supercars.net Membership is for people who&#x27;d rather know the spec sheet by heart than skim ten headlines.
