If you are interested in receiving increased monetary and experience rewards from races, simply play offline and don't update when 1.06 comes out in January 2011. 
Unless the increased rewards have an expiration built in to this update.
I just want increased XP for all races. Don't really care for the money that much.
Who's to say it won't go even higher in the future?
They're either doing 2 things:
1) Too many people complained so they raised the output.
or
2) Want to give the Christmas players a way to catch up in order to compete with the Release guys.
