Sooooo...how much of the mil did Trey take home from his two race wins at the MEC, if any...and, how much did Millsaps pocket for the last race win?

100K for first.

It's like every other MX race, overall counts. Trey came third.. Probably 25 or something

How does this compare to normal SX?

Or is it better to compare it to the series? Sick

The guys from 14th back make more at a normal supercross (450 class). The guys 14th forward do significantly better at monster cup. So the series payouts are more tilted to keeping a full gate on the road.

$19068 per event in the 250 class... Yikes

Maybe it's worth there being more than 20 bucks between some of those places.
I now see why it might not be a bad idea to go ahead and advance Justin Hill to the 450. . .

Kidding but the difference is a bit odd. I wonder what the logic is behind the payout structure.

They don't care about 250 riders. That's their logic

I'm not quite as old as dust, but I still remember the small bike class in Supercross being called the "support class".

Ever wonder why the guys in the minor leagues of baseball don't make as much as the ones in the MLB?

You're probably right with that logic.

But I don't know that baseball is a fair comparison. Most years, there is more competition in the 250 class and the 250 guys run times regularly comparable with the 450's. Not every race but it's not a rare thing either. Plus, the 250 guys have half the season to make money. Lastly, without the 250 classes as a part of the night show, I would guess that the crowd and ratings drop off significantly. None of that is true with minor league baseball teams.

I don't particularly care one way or the other, but just giving some other aspects that make the payouts a little more perplexing.

I get what you're saying...but I've seen some very good minor league baseball games before. Doesn't mean that that they should be paid as much as the guys in the majors....
