He would get $150,000 tax free. He would leave his $60,000 a year job behind as well as his wife kid and NO RACING ( He has 2 bracket cars) And I would loose my crew chief. I told him you don't realize how little a hundred grand is in todays figures. 30 years ago it would be life changing. Today you could'nt payoff your mortgage.

I could pay off my mortgage, my truck, my wife's car... every penny of all of our other debts, and could go racing comfortably for 5 years on the leftovers. On top of that, with no debts, it'd be like having an "extra" $1,500-$2,000/month. Maybe I'm in the minority, but that's a life-changing figure for me.
Back on topic: I went to my first Indy last year. I'm not going this year -- to Indy , or *any* NHRA races. I didn't need a reminder as to why I let my membership go the first time. I *do* have options on where to race, and I'll vote with my feet.
