I'm sure they do but that's not the point. It's investing $150,000 in a car and winning $1,500.

150k lmao!

It is embarrassing to show the winner receiving this check. NHRA should really try to not show this. It certainly discourages people.

Re: NHRA "FIXED" Factory Showdown
 

I think you will find the cost to buy that car and build it to where it needs to be to be competitive is closer to $225,000

Re: NHRA "FIXED" Factory Showdown
 

That was WAY to much !

Re: NHRA "FIXED" Factory Showdown
 

Hi Bobby. None of us sportsman are racing NHRA to make money. There is none to be made. The factory stock racers are doing it as a hobby. If you can afford to build and race one of those cars the purse that a being paid by NHRA is of no importance. Anyone know what Sam Tech does for the class? Do they also pay a purse as the series sponsor ?

Re: NHRA "FIXED" Factory Showdown
 

I wonder how that is any different than running a Pro Stock? Might be a little cheaper?

Re: NHRA "FIXED" Factory Showdown
 

I completely understand that. As with Pro Stock they aren't in it to win money, but at least Pro Stock gets $25,000. Granted that doesn't cover the costs of their program either but it does look a lot better than $1,500. What about Laughlin winning $50,000 for his small tire race win at Lights Out? If you made it $15,000 to win in Factory Shootout wouldn't even more racers show up?

I would say no way!!! They players in the game do it for themselves and the satisfaction. (This is totally a guess on my end)



If I was going to spend 250K on a race car its going to go deep 6's or 5's and run races with a good payout.



I really like FSS cars and think its a great class, but the money to play is mind-boggling.
