How much could they really make at an NHRA event? I honestly have no idea but know costs have to be higher and suspect the purse for a single win isn't near $3500.
Never forget, they are also paid just for being on the show. That's where the money is.
Back in the good old days (early 2000's) even at an IHRA National event a win in a sportsman class could net 10k or better with contingencies. I know thats not a fact in IHRA anymore but I believe a NHRA win with a decent amount of stickers still pays pretty well. Al might know the answer to that.
