Making a profit in drag racing ????

A dragster is the supreme drag race vehicle. They have a superior advantage aginst door cars in the bracket format. You can race Top Dragster and/or Super Comp/Quick Rod and be just as competitive in either. You can't do that alone, with any other classes. You can race a stocker in S/S, but not as competitive. All you have to do is look at Scotty Richardson, Peter Biondo, etc. or go to any big money race. If it was just about the smart money...you would be in a dragster. Now if you can build the car, engine, transmissions, sell race parts, that is the way to make a profit in drag racing. Be your own sponsor, showcase your product on your own entry. It's sweet when you go to a race and transport a product for someone...and get paid! That's how you race in my book, bring home more money than you left with! If you put forth the effort in any career, that you put forth in racing....You would be a rich SOB. I like racing for the competition value, and I'll be in a little 60 Corvette SS/LA because that's what I like. I don't always like what's best for me. LOL. Sometimes fun is worth more than money.
