I like the idea of racing for that kind of money, but don't you have to be good enough to win it?

Personally I am not, so I'll keep that 500-800 bucks and race NHRA or locally for a few weeks instead lol. And have fun doing it.

My sentiment exactly, I just want to be out there playing, if I can't get to a national (or even a far away divisional) then I'll save my money and race locally.
But...IF I had the money?...I would travel, a lot. Run all my divisional's and take in races all through the south for winter. New motorhome/trailer/car load up the gaskets and spare parts and stay warm all winter! lol!

And if I HAD that much money, I would certainly be out there with something nicer than what I've got... but I'm not into shiny so a nice clean rust free car from the south would be all I need.

As far as which class? I like being chased and the lower cost of maintenance for a slow car so maybe a clean slow car? (win a couple million in the lottery and buy a nice clean escort stocker that's currently for sale? (that's me, shooting for the stars, lol!!)

What little I know about you and your program, causes me to disagree.

That said, .015 package and better every round will win a lot of races! .020 - 025 packages will win rounds. If you have a car that is deadly, then all you have to do is let go equal to or better than your opponent. Knowing how to drive the strip is advantageous

That said 2, I don’t ever have to leave my home track to race for more $ weekly in a single day competing in the Summit ET Points Series. than a national event pays after sitting there for 4 days or longer.
