Well, after the lottery takes their cut and you pay Uncle Sam you're left with about $12 million. After your family, friends, ex-wives, mistresses, girlfriends and bill collectors are done fleecing you you'll have about $7 million. I was told it would take about $2 million to build a top notched WoO team (i.e. brand new truck, trailer, motors, cars, spares, tools, shop if you don't have one etc.) from the ground up. That's probably high but that was the amount I was given by a highly repsected Outlaw driver.
I'm sure some of the equipment is a one time buy. You won't have to buy two of everything. So lets say $2.5 million for the two Outlaw teams without turning a lap. Hopefully, you can find some sponsorship. That's unless you're connected to the manufacturers and can get deals, or you hire a driver who can bring money and deals.
I'm not sure how much a USAC sprint team would cost to start from scratch, but you're already running out of money. At about $500 thousand a year to run one Outlaw team you'll be broke and living in your parents basement in about three years. How about one really strong team and invest the rest?
Now to answer question. Brian Montieth and Chad Kemenah would be my Outlaw drivers. Steve Buckwalter and Dave Darland would be my USAC drivers. Sorry for being a jerk.
