Has Flacher won $1,200,000?

TOM KASCH · 07-26-2008, 03:56 PM

that would be 10,000 $10,000 wins ?
or did it win 1 $1,000,000 race some place?

It was runner up at a Div. 3 points race . That would explain some of it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i have heard it annouced many times that Fletch,s super stocker is the most winning car in N.H.R.A. history,curious how much cash the car has won,

Last year, a "professional" sportsman racer told me that an NHRA divisional event win in his Super Stock car meant a $18,000 payday including contingency money. He takes full advantage of every possible contingency available. $1.2 million divided by $18k would be 67 division wins. While that would be a bunch, there'd also be divisional runner-ups, national event wins and runner-ups, regular bracket races and a few big money bracket races that could make reaching that figure with one car quite possible.

You are way off in your estimate of what you can win drag racing with an NHRA SS car.....Ed is right, the only way you could come away with that much money is with a gun......

Have to agree with Ed on that one. Bring a gun and leave the engine running. If you look at the listed cont. payout for a divisional here in Div II max is 12,800 in SS and that is before you remove duplicates for oil, converter, cam, tires, fuel, car make and others. Might get 9-10,000 total with every decal but 18,000 would be tough unless you have a sponsor who kicks in for a win.

Hooks hard-goes straight UP.......at St. Louis on Saturday evening of Midwest Nationals-chilly to cold-taken from near the finish line in the sportsmen bleachers.

BobOrme · 07-26-2008, 08:21 PM

Put the guns away guys, it wasn't my estimate. It was a number expressed by a div 2 racer. Since he usually enters two classes at every event, perhaps he meant a double-up weekend would produce that payday. My mistake.

Bryan Worner · 07-27-2008, 09:29 AM

I think he meant $1200.00 in revenue! The decimal point is in the wrong place!! For those who don't know....Jeremy Duncan drives this car. It's only been on the track this year.....so I have no idea where he's coming up with that figure??? Maybe he has the same agent as Henesey......remember his guarantee???

Points race wins are worth about 3000 to 5000, runner up about 1500.
