Including pro purse money!

$10,000 purse for the Easy Money Pro/Am at Buffalo Creek on September 25th.

$10,000 purse at the Lynn Nickerson Memorial - Race for Cancer Research at River Valley on October 2nd.

$25,000 purse for the Pro Challenge at Swan on October 8th.

It's going to be like seeing three Nationals in a row, all within 1.5 hours of DFW!

We have cattle stations down here bigger'n Texas.

Good prize money, though. That wouldn't be in Aussie dollars, would it?

I'm just thinking about maintaining the fences.

It's 267,000 square miles, and 867 miles between it's farthest points....That's a big assed ranch.

I'll see you at one or more of these, Cam. Depending on my schedule.

How'd you work out the conversion?

The cattle stations don't smell too bad cause we don't have too many head per hectare - not enough grass. Driest continent on Earth, apparently.

Will do. These races have gotten full pro gates in the past. The Swan race has been around for a long time and had Kevin Windham, Jimmy Albertson, Mike Brown, Travis Pastrana, DV12, Josh Demuth, etc.

I can't think of a better opportunity for riders like Wharton and Regal to get some needed seat time. Doubt TC will be healthy enough, but he raced TXPC year before last. As did Dean Wilson in 07. In fact, the Pro Challenge has been something of a crystal ball for the future. Last year, Lance Vincent and Chris Plouffe chased Regal around gamely.
