If you could pilot a TF for $10k a race, would you? - Page 4

While the Top Fuel car would be interesting, I'd much rather drive a Pro Stocker...

Yeah they are only 4 grand a pass LOL

Nope. $10K for some WOT laps in a F1 car, F*** yeah! Granted, there is a 0% chance I would fit in any F1 car....

I've sat in the car during a warmup at Brainerd. It's not that bad. Now of course I didn't stand on the gas for a launch!

Our TF is around $4,500 a pass if we don't hurt anything. Big teams are closer to $20k per pass but they also have a lot of personal, rigs, etc.

Before I die I want to drive a car as fast as it will go, preferably a 396/375, AA, A or B/SA Camaro.
Top Fuel is for Kitty Cats. Meow!

This would have been my dream come true! I have always wanted to drive a Nitro car. Problem is I never had the money for anything like that. I would still do it now if I had the money.

Circling back on this once again to see if anybody is interested.
I know the chances are slim, but it never hurts to at least ask.

I would like to do this, but I’m pretty certain after one run the way I would drive the owner would give the $10,000.00 plus another ten not to drive again! There would be much damage!
