NHRA CONFIRMS TO TEAMS ITS 2024 PAYOUTS | Competition Plus

I don't see how anyone can field a pro car without having someone with deep pockets providing the budget. Anyone know the latest calculations as to what it costs per run taking into account parts, fuel, crew, hotel, etc.? A rich man's playground, no wonder the Surfer's quit.NHRA CONFIRMS TO TEAMS ITS 2024 PAYOUTS | Competition Plus

Pretty much the same in every major motorsport. As an example, the purses are much larger in NASCAR, but the budget required to run that series is exponentially bigger than NHRA. Same with Indycar. I'm not saying they shouldn't be much higher, but there's really no form of professional racing where a few working class buddies can pitch in and run for a title.I don't see how anyone can field a pro car without having someone with deep pockets providing the budget.

You can kind of extend that line of thought into all professional sports teams, period. Many MLB, NBA, NHL, and even NFL teams operate at loss in terms of the amount of money they spend on the team/facilities versus what they bring in through tickets, merchandise, and even TV contracts depending on the size of the market they are in. Now with the stick and ball sports, the value of the asset itself tends to grow exponentially over time (the Baltimore Orioles were purchased in 1993 for $173 million dollars and just sold for $1.725 billion). Making money in professional sports generally happens when you get out, not when you're in.Pretty much the same in every major motorsport.

So Mike you’re going to fund my TF team for the next 10 years and when you get out you will be a billionaire?? Let me know how that works out. lolMaking money in professional sports generally happens when you get out, not when you're in.
Maybe not a billionaire, but how much more do you suppose the parcels of land and facilities that JFR and DSR sit on are worth now versus what they paid for them?So Mike you’re going to fund my TF team for the next 10 years and when you get out you will be a billionaire??
