Congratulation to Jeff Verdi
 

Congratulation to Jeff Verdi on your win at the Spring Fling. $240.000.00 big reason to be happy. When you have determination nothing can get between you and your goal, also nice when Lady Luck shows up.lol Mr. Verdi trailered his race car from Virginia on an open wheel trailer to Las Vegas,had some luck in winning ticket to the big ball. Nice to see someone have the luck follow him to the end and of course talent doesn't hurt. CR.

Re: Congratulation to Jeff Verdi
 

Seriously?!?!? Cause we KNOW that the stock/super stock section has NOTHING to do with bracket racing!! LMAO!!


CONGRATS Jeff!!! So nice to see a "lil" guy do it without spending half a mil to get there!

Re: Congratulation to Jeff Verdi
 

hey 440 6pack did I forget to mention that he has won more money ($240k)than most racer including the pros! He's just a little guy decided to go to Vegas and try his chance towing his Firebird on his open trailer Behind his dually. Doesn't matter that he beat all the tubes chassis dragsters but that he won doing what he like. More Class racers should attend those races and show that they also can compete.Class racer don't dial racing!

Re: Congratulation to Jeff Verdi
 

Way to go buddy , glad you showed them what you have been doing to the guys at Richmond & VMP for several years now !!! That is one Bad
Pontiac !! A " Big Congrats " on your Win & have safe travels home ... Don't leave any of that money in Vegas ... ???

* By the way cicero819 , Jeff , has been beating up on dragsters & everything else for years and is well known thru-out East Coast...

Re: Congratulation to Jeff Verdi
 

Was the class stock/super stock? No? Bracket race! Wrong section.

Great job to Jeff, no disrespect at all.

Re: Congratulation to Jeff Verdi
 

and Jeff does it again, winning his second "Million" dollar race in 6 months!

He is the Top Gun!!

Don't know what the split was but based on entries, the winner would get $300,000!

Congrats

Re: Congratulation to Jeff Verdi
 

I only logged in this morning to see how the key board jokies ( I mean jockeys - LOL) would react to Jeff - I was not disappointed - some can not help but be a POS

Re: Congratulation to Jeff Verdi
 

In his two wins this year, Jeff won almost six-hundred thousand dollars ($570,000).

For comparison sake, winning fifty (50) NHRA national events would earn about the same amount (based on winners purses the past few years of twelve (12) grand).

Congrats Jeff.

Re: Congratulation to Jeff Verdi
 

Thread on livestream stated the win was $173k, and the splits started at 20 cars.

Re: Congratulation to Jeff Verdi
 

Not true, Jeff took home less than $100,000 from his Million win earlier this year and just over $150,000 last night.

Re: Congratulation to Jeff Verdi
 

Ok. I was basing it on before any split(s). Still a nice chunk of change, almost a quarter-million dollars for two wins (the same basically as twenty-one [21] national event wins).

Re: Congratulation to Jeff Verdi
 

almost a 1/4 million is a big difference from almost $600,000.

Still great wins and I believe more $ than anyone has ever won bracket racing in a single year.

Here's a link to the story on Jeff's win at Las Vegas.

And for inquiring minds, round by round coverage. http://dragstory.com/forum/index.php/topic,4112.0.html


Yes - splits are common in this type of $$$$ racing. Not so much in Class Racing because the $ is not that big.

Re: Congratulation to Jeff Verdi
 

Awesome job Jeff!!! Congratulations!!!

Re: Congratulation to Jeff Verdi
 

Never the less , Jeff congrats on the Million win..... I'm just wondering you going to buy a new truck and enclosed trailer......LOL Oh and your engine builder should get a pat on the back too....way to go....

Re: Congratulation to Jeff Verdi
 

I was following the event on MotorMania, that is quite the race. Congratulations to Jeff, that guy is a machine with a deadly car. Hard to believe two door cars made it to the final, and one was a truck! Brad Plourd was ru of Friday's race in a door car also.
Can somebody explain how the splits work?
Thanks,

Re: Congratulation to Jeff Verdi
 

Funny you should ask about splits. Current Issue of Drag Racing Edge - https://dragracingedge.com/magazine/2016/dre-issue-5/ - is a story on just that.

Re: Congratulation to Jeff Verdi
 

Thanks John, interesting article. Seems like there is no set format, the racers make it up as they go.
