So ... how much was that win worth ? .. 100k to "watch" ? ... diff strokes for diff folks ...I guess ...



Win paid 10K. I also crew, work on the car and have input on how we upgrade. I built a S/C Duster a decade ago. I raced it one time then offed it. Driving doesn't appeal to me any longer. Planning, tuning and execution is where my interest lies. Driving a car like this takes years to perfect the skill necessary for winning and keeping it off of the wall. Small tire, short wheelbase and 3500 HP is hard to manage. Doug has been doing this a long time and there is no better driver in this class. He and I are partners but if I owned the car alone I'd pay him to drive.
