An established team can run a long time on that kind of money.

not with 2 full time employees not counting the driver with 2 supers 2 crates and who knows how many engines. it costs 4-5k just to drop the gate

If you are trying to run Lucas shows, yes, you might spend $4k a night. That's 62 nights with the 250k. The other stuff is cheaper to run. These guys ain't towing across the country every week. They also have other sources of income.

It doesn't matter how many engines they have, or cars, you are only wearing out 1 that night

thats not counting motor freshening or loss, transporter maintenance, usually one new car a year and if youre doin it "cheaper" then theres not much point in showing up. They also have about 10 ppl on the payroll of this deal thats not getting paid from race winnings, I know youre the expert of 4m but 250k is not enough to run off a good sponsor because all it takes is one person changing positions that doesnt like racing at a company for them to go a different direction with their budget

That does count those things in the summary that Viper publicly talked out on the Internet a while back. A team can spend about whatever they want to race.

Are you saying 10 people are being paid a salary by a departing sponsor? That guy was getting fleeced!

no you implied that the race team is being funded by their social media when they didnt have any of the good equipment until langenfelder came along, and probably had more social media support then than now. they were running a used hybrid capital and a 15 year old engine before him. they got all this extra money lying around now they should hire you to crew chief for them, im sure youd have them winning eldora lmao

I implied that 300k would fund a lot of trips to the races if they won nothing. I don't know that I could get them a win, but I'm certain I could improve their performance.

Social media got them out of their day jobs. Beyond that, I don't know or care.

I'm sure there are those here that wish we were still running leaf springs & home built cast iron block 377 & 406. Cause they were HOMEBUILT!

Sorry folks. That ship has sailed. Even street stocks have better motors than we ran 35-40 years ago.

no thanks I am done with team infomercial

IMO, however they make their money or how they choose to spend it, or what deals they make or break is totally 100% their business and none of mine, like any other LM team. I do not root for or against them on the track. What soured (or enlightened) me on them is how I saw WITH MY OWN TWO EYES how they treated fans and what their true personalities are, particularly how they left fans with young children standing around with shirts and wouldn't even acknowledge them, WELL BEFORE any work was being done on the car. Others may have different experiences and I can respect that, but if you ONLY watch the videos and have not seen or witnessed how they act in person, when they can't edit what they want you to see, IMO you have a hollow, one-sided argument. I've seen this at two separate tracks and I realized, they are simply shrewd businessmen (best case anyway) who know what they are doing and what crowd they're playing to when they film the "good ol' boys just having a good time" videos. I've seen enough to know the videos are purely an act. YMMV
