"Dupuy and Erbacher are still working out the exact cost of the experience but expect it to be affordable, even by nitro racing standards."

That is how much I tell you what though, they just came up with a FANTASTIC IDEA is what they did. Unless they price it out of the ballpark, which does not sound like they are going to do, then this should go off like nothing else. I love this country!!!


EDIT: Guys, before you think I said it was gonna be affordable for everyone, that is NOT what I meant. I am just saying that it will probaly be somwheat reasonable since they need to sell it. What is reasonable? Well, depending on your income, it is gonna be different for everyone.

many years ago I was a guest with western auto ,who sponsored shelly anderson, and al hoffman, at the time..My best friend's uncle was ceo for western auto. The crew chief told me that if anyone tells you they can make one run for less than 1500 dollars he's lying to you . Taking into consideration wear and tear and not blowing it up. So I cant imagine what it would cost for their training ,but it would be an incrediable experience

I believe he quit after he went trough the traps 15' in the air and going over 250 mph! HUGE huevos...
