I agree it will probably cost that total to show up. So say it does cost you 500 to show up. You have a chance to win 1,500 on sat. and 1,000 on sun. That puts you ahead by 2,000 sounds like a good deal to me. By the way an NHRA divisional I believe pays 1,500 to win. Lets say you dont have such a great weekend and you only go a couple rounds each day. That still puts you in the money each day. 100 dollars for 3rd round sat. 400 for 3rd round sunday. Now you just broke even. What is it that you are looking for? I have run a lot of big money races. I dont know of very many races where you can go a couple rounds and be ahead.
Now somebody said earlier that it costs them 200-250 dollars a run. I would love to hear a break down of that.
I figure I use 1 galllon of VP gas a run. = $11
Maybe 2 pounds of nitrous = $8
This doesnt include tires or oil but those are consumables regardless of how fast you go
So far Im up to $19 a run. That being said I am one of those slow cars only going 6.8s so I dont know maby those next few tenths get expensive. lol
Mike I agree its time to talk about something new
