Re: $42,000 win for Biondo
 

Thanks for the Congrats!

There was some really good bracket racing out there and I especially want to thank the Lamb family and Kyle Siepel for letting me run their cars. Also thanks to Uncle Sal for adding to the good times out there. Uncle Sal and Lou (Civello) helped to get me started in 1990 by letting me drive their 11 second/ 69 camaro which was my first 'real race car' ride. Thanks guys!

Re: $42,000 win for Biondo
 

I was just wondering......If Peter can win that kind of $$$$$ at a big time bracket race then WHY dosent NHRA or IHRA pay more for a win at a national event in S/S and stock??? How many spectators watched the race Peter won and how many cars were entered and at what kind of entry fee? Same deal as with the Million Dollar race each year. Look at the kind of money the stock and S/S racers pay to enter an NHRA or IHRA National event event for $1000 to $1500 win money. The rest is paid by sponsors (IF your lucky enough to collect from them). A good Stock and S/S show just HAS to be more interesting to spectators than a field full of big block chevy powered delay box started dragsters. Just food for thought and congrats to Peter for the win. He couldnt win that much money if he won Indy twice in one weekend.

Terry;
Here's an example of entry fees.2009 Super Nats.All sportsman entries Comp. to S/ST 400 entries.
Entry fee $ @ $210=84,000 Insurance fee @ $40=$16,000.Grand total$100,000.I guess NHRA has no transparency when it doles out the prize $.They could give organized crime some tips on cash flow.

Peter is Peter and will continue to reap the rewards of his talent.

Re: $42,000 win for Biondo
 

There were 42 cars entered for the race that Peter won, and the entry fee was $1,000 per car. It was winner take all, thus the $42,000 payday.
