They are pricey right now .... But if you can wait a couple more weeks they will be in season.

Here's a way to lower your engine costs ... do it yourself. :-)

I apologize for sending this thread sideways, but guys who can whittle a miniature engine out of a
chunk of aluminum fascinate me. If you happen to own a tiny top fuel dragster here is a motor for you: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N8TXMUaC9Os To answer your original question, one can finish a night's racing a little ahead on money. You will NEVER finish ahead for the year. |

Based on what I saw in Jackslash's video clip, I'm guessing that Jeff Bland and his family spent a little bit more than the $1000 or so shown in this example.....
