But if you ask anybody in the micro world what is the most important trophy to get, it's that Golden Driller.

But as for format, they use the Sprint bandit type deal with heats, qualifiers and such.
We ran second last year and did not quite cover fuel expense for that big old Ford 350 dully hauler and Dodge caravan chase vehicle.


The shootout also does not have much front gate money the purse got to come out of the back gate. The Chili Bowl has both gates making money.

A big reason for going to Rumble this year got two chances to make some money and a lot less driving.
