one of the reasons we built a funny car was 1 to be different, 2 to be "paid" to race. the tracks we have here and were lucky to have several within 100 miles, love to have something"different". granted we dont get rich but at least we get real close to breaking even at the end of the day and heck its even fun.yea i spent a ton of money to get here but after several years of running brackets going 5,6, even 7 rounds just to get into the money it was getting to a point that it wasnt fun anymore! so i built a funny car. now we pull into the track make a few[3] passes collect more money than the super pro or what ever the class may be winner does and we go home. point is we all have different ways and means to build the car we take to the track, i for one like my car[now a altered] and we now are having fun and we get paid as well!!! but we are one of the lucky ones and yes we do have sponsors but their money did not build this car mine did!
