What about Mr. Beard now that he has relocated into Div 3 territory? Is he planning an assault on the Div 3 Stock Eliminator Championship? I'm not sure now that he back halved the Duck Tape car does he have a "Stocker" anymore or SS only?

What about Andrew finishing #2? Can he climb that last notch?

What about Randi Lyn finishing #5? Is she going to show the boys how its done?

Can Mr. Taylor repeat?

Let’s see here it costs an average $865 to run a PTS race in your div and around $1100 on average to run one out of your div.

Ave PTS meet cost
Entry $160
Crew $50
TruckFuel $250
Race fuel $100 if you go more then 4 rounds
Food $80
Hotel $225

If you went to all 6 in division races and 2 out of division races it would costs at least $7930 to try and win the div which pays what 2-3 grand and a gold card. I don’t see to many people chasing after div points again this year. You must enter 12-15 pts races and nationals events the next year for the gold card to even come close to paying for itself.

Good info. Now on the flip side of that. Can you breakout the winnings with contingencies?

Not sure what the contingency program is. But, in 2010, a friend was runner-up at the Div 1 LODRS at Maple Grove. He won $400 (four hundred) and "some sticker money".

For me, personally, any Div 1 NHRA race is close to, or more, than a thousand dollar investment. Norwalk and Columbus Div'l races maybe 600-700. Any IHRA weekend (other than Pittsburgh) is also $1K bill for the weekend, or more. Pretty much, I would have to win the (NHRA( race to make anything (R/U I might not even break even). IHRA, I need to win one day or R/U both days to break even (unless I sleep in a tent beside the trailer and eat baloney sandwiches all weekend for every meal).
