To the victors go the spoils! | The money absolutely DOES matter !! |
Yes Virginia, The Money DOES Matter!! | |
Any self respecting slot car organization which collects money is also duly responsible for its disbursement. And a key part of Speed Merchants is full financial accountability to, and for, its members. Each month the Speed Merchants Money Matters by Tony Ruiz is duly reported in the Haywire Newsletter and on the web for all to see. That’s a Speed Merchants first in the entire history of organized slot car racing! Good thing, too. Because once $100+ was paid in service charges to Speed Merchants hosts, and millions of $$$ more paid in promotional expenses, there was still over $500 available for Championship Points Series awards. If we didn’t know where the money goes, we wouldn’t know it was there!! The Speed Merchants victors reaped the spoils of victory in the form of individually engraved, free standing etched glass plaques for the Top Six finishers in the Modified , Restricted Open and Neo classes. Congratulations to all in recognition of their superior performance in the Spring 2000 Championship Points Series! |

Speed Merchants Investments Yield High Rate Of Return | |
The $500 awards fund which Speed Merchants accrued was MORE than matched by the retail value of Race Prizes donated by a dozen different Sponsors of high performance H.O. racing! Speed Merchants graciously thanks the following Sponsors for their support: Apex Racing, Hobby Pros, Quicker Engineering, Scaleauto/BSRT, Buena Park Raceway, Rothwell Authentic Body Shells, Wizzard High Performance, Inc., Scale Auto Racing News, Painted Bodies by Nelson, Cruisin’ The Golden Era, Slottech H.O.

Speed Merchants Supports The HOPRA Nats !! | |
