Money?

Dixon wins the 2010 T/F Championship and John Force wins FC and both get $500,000 !!!! Really? $500,000 ? That's $1,000,000 ! Boy, I hope they appreciate the Sportsman racers who paid for that! Jim

I could be wrong, but I think the Full Throttle sponsorship funds a sizable chunk of the Pro championship payouts.

My biggest problem is that we fund the payouts for the alcohol cars.From what I understand they don't pay entry fees.
As far as the pros,1/2 a mil doesn't cover their expensess for the year.You would like to have what they pay for pit spots at national events.
Wanna bitch about something?How about the motorcycle freaks doing wheelies and the Full Throttle bazooka boys?Oh and I wonder if NHRA pays any of the fees for the Geico plane going in circles at nationals.Now there's a man on a mission.

They don't,but they pay through the nose for any extra parking and souvenir trailers on site.
Force,and I guess others,has at least two or three trailers full of parts.They park them out of the main parking areas,but they still pay.Like Jesse James says,pay up sucker.

They get one space (a hauler plus the awning space next to it) per car for free. Each equivalent space they want for hospitality areas and other haulers are charged at a rate of $1500 each with a full season commitment or $2000 per race if they can't commit to a full season on those parking spaces....those were the numbers as of about 5 years ago - it might cost more now. Think about how much of that extra parking space Shoe, Force and AJ combined use at every national event. They don't pay to enter, but they do pay to park, and it ain't cheap!
