Just wanted to know how many of you guys have ever entered a drag racing competition or autocross and won prize money?

 

Ant and Jeff K that i know of

but Etown will give you a trophy and money for anything

 

I know BrianV just won $400..

 

I won ~ $1500 in cash and prizes in 99 (2 first, 1 second, and several semi-finalists at NIRA, IDRC, and Import Survival Series events), the only year I drag raced on a regular basis. After that, I left drag racing for autocross (no money to be made there)

like i said.. etown will give anyone money and trophies

 

yeah i just won about $400

 

Like I said.. it kicked *** at the NIRA and IDRC events.. that's where all the competition, money, and prizes are. The ISS series dishes out chump change and little trophies. My NIRA and IDRC trophies are ~ 3' high

 

I won a digicam at Maxus

 

check the NE forum

 

Are you using it now?

 

I won a gift certificate at an Auto X from phoung(got rice). 150 bucks...

 

i didnt drag, but i got a 3rd place trophy at LACR should have dragged and taken Brians 400 dolla..hhehehe

 

i got bragging rights.

 

How hard is it to race at nira. B-cause I race at dallas every weekend almost and I love drag, I would like to move on to something that gives some fat pay outs.

 

NIRA and IDRC events generally draw ~ 300-500 racers so it's not easy. Bracket racing will most likely require at least 10 rounds before you get to the semis and can win $$$/trophies/prizes, sometimes more rounds if the bracket you are in is full.

 

Can't you also get extra cash for having Decals of the sponsor or using their products?

 

Contingency sponsors - you need to get win or take second .. $50-200 depending on the company
