I think you will find the cost to buy that car and build it to where it needs to be to be competitive is closer to $225,000

Hi Bobby. None of us sportsman are racing NHRA to make money. There is none to be made. The factory stock racers are doing it as a hobby. If you can afford to build and race one of those cars the purse that a being paid by NHRA is of no importance. Anyone know what Sam Tech does for the class? Do they also pay a purse as the series sponsor ?

I wonder how that is any different than running a Pro Stock? Might be a little cheaper?

I wonder what the "Legends" got paid to race someone else's 15 second Toyotas?

They had 1st round on tv that lasted for about 20 seconds. Fuel cars got a lot more time. This would make anything boring
