Making a profit in drag racing ????

Thats why I think IF anybody can make money IN and not OFF of dragracing it will be a bracket racer. Maybe a lower budget stocker who also bracket races.

Man Mr Yacavone, you are the only person on facebook twitter, and about 10 racing forums that has had anything negative to say thus far. And that even includes yellobullet.com.. Where the weak are killed an eaten!
The video is actually quite good from a youtube video editing perspective, and it was suppose to be somewhat of a parody... Other than that.. All serious. Cant be afraid to be different and do something to get peoples attention if you have big aspirations... Like Drooze said, no publicity is bad publicity.... Remember one way of making money in racing is sponsor dollars... Even if you are infamous.. You get exposure. And if nothing else, the dude has more passion about the sport then anybody else I know.. Possibly even myself.

Doesn't surprise me about the forums mentioned, at all. This forum has, I guess what I could say is, a more "mature " perspective to it.

You said it yourself, that it was somewhat of a parody .That's the feel I took away from it.
That , and a bit of P T Barnum.

Jimi B I enjoyed his video, man shows passion but the best thing going for him, his wife is right with him and he's continuing a relation with his father. Profit is a long way for him but with dedication he might be right in there with the pack in the future. I'm sure there is a lot of racer that are turning a profit Frank Mark from New Jersey is one that come to mind(Sometimes). The good thing about Mr Mark he isn't afraid to take a young aspiring driver and help him better himself, I've seen it many times with a lot of racers, I've done it many times helping someone new to the track, to facilitate his enjoyment at the track. Billy Nees is another one who has help many racer reach their potential. I've profited from the information and friendship that I've made in racing ten to one compared to everyday life. Claude Ruel
