Survey for 1st Time Builders, S/SS

Mark Yacavone · 03-08-2015, 06:02 PM

.... Newbies, builders, racers returning from the old days, etc... or just plain fans:

A good friend of mine was just in the semi-final round of Super/Stock at an NHRA Divisional race.
This was with one of the fastest 9 second GT cars in the country.
I don't know but it had to cost up towards 6 figures or more, first time around.

Bear in mind : Entry for a Div. race: $165
Crew person(s) $85
Fuel $10 to $15 per. I don't know that for sure either
Travel, motel, etc. : Whatever your pleasure is.

My question is : How much do you think the semi-final check was for?

This question is not for veteran racers, or even those who have been to a couple of Div. races, or those who have already looked this up.
I'm looking for top of the head , off the cuff guesses, or impressions , to make a point.
Thanks
