Incidentally, the Chaos prize money is put up by the series sponsor and is not being siphoned off from other divisions. Lets just get rid of that line of thought up front.
No one's taking anything away from anyone.
Along that lines, but I'll just clarify your wording more specifically:
The series is sponsored, the prize money is not being siphoned off from other divisions. Funding is available, as is the case with all classes, with the support of our sponsors. While sponsors do not provide the whole of prize money, their support is very helpful in all racing programs. Trevor is correct, this was not a case of funding being transfered from one division to another, it is new funding that has been made available.
The series is very fortunate to have a partner like Ultimate Sandblasting & Coatings, much as the other divisions have excellent partners who help out with those programs (ie. Transmission Direct, Demar Aggregates, Powerade, APC Auto Parts Centres).
Again, I'm around for any questions.

Now we're talkin. Do you folks want to learn to race or put on a show. What did John say 80% entertainment 20% competition? In my opinion racing is 100% both.
Streetstocker33 brings up a valid question. Are you paying to play like the rest of us?
I look at it this way (about paying the gate ) these guys have gone to the effort to build cars and come out and try to put on a show with no chance of getting any return on thier investment (but fun) , but now there's what ... a whole $ 125.00 to win and all I'm hearin is ...What they get in free !!! That would be $ 125.00 for the season IF you win (that wont even buy me a tire) !!! How about giving these guy's a break (reguardless if you like the class or not) at least the're out there ! Maybe one day one of them will be the guy that moves up and runs real good and you can say I remember when he started out in a Chaos Car !!! I know I sure as heck did'nt start at the top and maybe some of you may think I did'nt amount to much (not many wins and no championships) but I've had one hell of a good time racing what I have and made a lot of GOOD friends doin it !!! Seems that these days we all forget the bottom line ... It's supposed to be fun !!!! Oh just one more thing , I was invited to drive in the corn cob 500 today (what the heck is that all about) and it sounds like a lot of fun so I'll be there and I've heard you can have a co pilot (you in Jay or shadow LOL ) but I'm drivin LMAO !!!
Have fun out there
