Dan Wilkerson was driving the second Levi, Ray, and Shoup car. He is in the picture below Tim.
The jet truck was burning down a large billboard behind the starting line.

Some Marquee Classic F/C teams get $2500 per lap, If they have a top shelf tuner.

The "front" gate alone generates in the neighborhood of 1.3 million dollars for the Baders at this one day event.
It's a great facility and a tremendous event. Would be great if standard national events could go back to having this feel. Sadly though, those days are over except at events like these.

$15,000 per lap? They'd Never pay that!
Never is a very long time Joe .
To run for the NHRA championship it now costs over $10,000 a run , some smaller teams will match race for that , the champions do get more per run.
$15,000 for two runs at a small track has been common for the past several years , that's why the Classic F/C's are booking so many dates.
Yes the match races are counted as testing by NHRA.

Jerry I'm sure your correct there, but that is running for pts. and the Championship! Match racing is different...

They still use up the same parts per run, big rigs with travel costs , crew members, hotels , etc... plus those high buck crew chiefs....

You also need to consider the merch.. With only a handful of teams there, the money spent on merch is concentrated. I'd have to guess each team could see in the $10-$15k range in sales or more for the night.
