All eyes will be on the Briggs & Stratton Senior category when it hits the track in Leamington as the feature race has a new prize payout format. For 2015 the class will qualify and run a PreFinal instead of the usual inverted heat race format to set the grid for the Final. In addition to the Final winner, the fastest qualifier and PreFinal winner will also take a piece of the pie, making it possible for a driver to take home more than $2500.00 if he/she was able to sweep the days action. As usual, the highest finishing out of town driver will also take home a chunk of the prize money as the club has an open invitation to drivers from all over the region.
