How many spectators watched the race Peter won and how many cars were entered and at what kind of entry fee? Same deal as with the Million Dollar race each year. Look at the kind of money the stock and S/S racers pay to enter an NHRA or IHRA National event event for $1000 to $1500 win money. The rest is paid by sponsors (IF your lucky enough to collect from them). A good Stock and S/S show just HAS to be more interesting to spectators than a field full of big block chevy powered delay box started dragsters. Just food for thought and congrats to Peter for the win. He couldnt win that much money if he won Indy twice in one weekend.

Terry;
Here's an example of entry fees.2009 Super Nats.All sportsman entries Comp. to S/ST 400 entries.
Entry fee $ @ $210=84,000 Insurance fee @ $40=$16,000.Grand total$100,000.I guess NHRA has no transparency when it doles out the prize $.They could give organized crime some tips on cash flow.
