racing your ride with another driver

When a racer races a friends race car and wins the event how is the purse money distributed ,whats the standard ,everybody are friends here but money is in play now...

I sense hornets nest....bzzzzzz...ouch!

Completely up to the individuals involved. Just come to an agreement before the race. It will be different depending on who's paying for what: car, consumables (tires, fuel, etc.), entry fees. If all the driver does is show up and drive, the percentage will likely be different than if the driver brought entry fees, transportation, tires, fuel, etc. to the table.

Pay all "out of pocket" expenses from the winners purse, and then split the rest as agreed upon.

But remember, the recipe for rabbit stew starts with.... first - you catch a rabbit.....

Before splitting anything, there has to be something to split..

Good luck and safe racing.

Make the ageement before the race . Take it from me . you can get slicked quick .

We have used the 50-50 method on prize money with the driver paying his own entry fee and we supplied the car ready to go, just add driver.

If a National or Divisional, dont forget the sticker money. This is a little harder, as they take time to pay (IF they pay in some cases).
I have agreed to: driver pays entry, then split 50-50, with owner getting the sticker money.

ALWAYS have the agreement first.

As said already... First you gotta get the rabbit! LOL

Good luck.

driver pays entry and fuel win the race entry comes out split the rest 50 50. owner pays for parts he gets sticker money. Thats how most the guys around me do it.

While you are at it, decide who pays if the driver wrecks the car, and can he sue you if a part like a tie rod breaks. It is amazing how quickly friends become adversaries.

When I drove the dragster,the owner paid entry fees,then if anything was won,the pot was split after entry fees were taken out for him. It sounds like a gravey deal,but there was self imposed pressure at times when I drove the car. Always discuss this before you even load the car up to go to the track!
