Thread: pro stock ?

Tweet

howdy !

in my national dragster magazine last year they had a section called "expenses of racing pro stock " WOW ! the money it takes to have fun ! a state of the art 500" motor is $87,000.00 ......one motor !
some of the minnor parts like valve springs , cost $ 23,000.00 per season !
they had an estimate of well over a million and a half to just get a car to the track first time , that didn`t cover the cost of a motel
I had considered once , parking my supergas car ....only once !
I`ll stay running 9.90`s and spend $ 10,000.00 per year , and have just as much fun !
there are several driving schools out there , you have to go thru these first , to learn how to drive one of these monsters .... as far as I know there is only one team left in competative pro stock that is funded out of there own pockets .... those are deeeeep pockets !
