when they moved the million dollar race to my home track 5 miles away i had to go watch a little. not a mopar on the ground. Today in the big race they were down to about 50 cars 3rd round and 1 door car left and a truck. Most boring thing i think ive seen in a long time. If you like dragsters you were in heaven, shall i say big block chevy dragsters. It got real good at the front of the lanes with 13 cars left. They all wanted to bust up that big purse but the guy setting on the bye said no. It was funny because nobody wanted to get in their cars. They knew that this round was paying 1k to the loser and the other guy was coming back to split the big money. It was like somebody died , nobody wanted to lose. Being this close to home was neet to watch but i wouldnt pay to see it. they were letting peoiple in for free

I watched it all online, including the 30K race later in the night, lots of big names and big money on the line.

they got to 4 cars before they busted it up. semi finalist got $32,500 each and the winner was going to get 80k and runner 50k. before the finals they decided on 65k each not a bad payday. it was alot better watching then negociate the money was alot better then watching them race

Yes the guy from Canada, Richard Arnold, is a good friend of mine congrats to him!! I sold him my lucky racing suit about 4 months ago!
Troy Williams was in at 4 cars, no surprise. Bradenton area racers have won the Million FIVE times!

The entry has stayed at 2K since George Howard put the first one on at Huntsville.
