WSORR Racer Contingency Shatters All-Time Record for Off-Road Racing
CRANDON, WI
The Lucas Oil World Series of Off-Road Racing announced today it will kick off the 2007 short course off-road racing season with a record $1,668,068 contingency program. “I’ve been involved in off-road racing for 38 years and have never seen a number this large in any form of off-road racing,” said Cliff Flannery, vice president, WSORR. “This huge commitment by sponsors says a lot about our style of off-road racing, WSORR racers and our Series,” said Flannery.
WSORR 2007 contingency hovered near the $1.5 million mark until postings by Lucas Oil, Goodyear, Doetsch Enterprises and Parker Pumper pushed off-road racing’s number one contingency program to a whole new level. “We are grateful for the generous support of so many fine contingency companies and donors,” said Jim Conner, Director of Contingency for WSORR. “I serve and have served as contingency director in off-road racing circles for many years but have never seen the show of interest and support by sponsors as that for WSORR,” he said. “We will work hard to live up to our contingency sponsor commitments and I know all WSORR racers will benefit from this record-breaking program,” he said.
The $1.6 million+ figure tops the previous record by nearly $200,000. “Jim Conner and his contingency staff have done yeoman’s work for WSORR in 2007,” said Flannery. “WSORR looks forward to a high level of racing in all WSORR classes this year beginning with the opening event this coming May 19-20 at Steele County Fairgrounds in Owatonna, Minnesota,” he said.
WSORR events this coming season feature the $1.6 million contingency program as well as annual racer purses of in excess of $800,000. Both are record amounts.
