Default Re: Making a profit in drag racing ????

Buy Back, Johnny Labbous could be credited with introducing Buy Backs at a race track that was going to pro-rate the purse due to low attendance. Buy backs were suppose to be thrown all in back in the show, only then, they would run each other to have the chance to go on to second round. As I understand what happened, after some track operator to speed up the show decided to just let them run in second round to help with the flow of cars. How about double entry. I'm building an 87 Camaro to run Stock and bracket which I'll pull with my 1980 Bluebird Wanderlodge(which was built for 500,000 miles) and does 10 miles a gallon of BIO- diesel which my friends produce at his farm(cost me $1 dollar a gallon) and Pace trailer. Nice to win some money but the friends I've made are incalculable. When you die I've never seen a Brinks truck following the Hearse but I've seen a lot of cars in the procession. If a man is judge by how much he's made in his life than I'm a poor man but if he's judge by who show's up at his burial then that will be his true worth.CR
