If anyone on here really thinks that Nick Hasting's is foot braking then I have a couple of bridges in California I would be interested in selling very cheap.

What, exactly, are you sayin here Rook?

Richard Dukes is as good of a guy as you will find. props out to him and Jeff Serra on the W.
I also found it interesting that the promoters put every entry over the required 450 in to the pot at the split. when has that happened? the Cummings are good people.

ep-the MMTV coverage was first class as well.

Well sure if nobody will get all offended is it ok if I ask if anyone knows the split?

They showed runner up and Nick Hastings checks on the live feed. They got paid very well for not winning event.

I would suggest getting your facts straight for you go online and start running your mouth! Nick is the baddest to ever footbrake a racecar period!

If you know he isn't footbraking then how is he bringing up the RPM's EVERY lap and never hitting a rev limiter like a 2 step? That car makes 1000 plus runs a year and the combo of him and Kalvi are the best in the game.

Nick has won more this year on the track than you make in 3 years working. Take that BS somewhere else.
Don't hate the player, hate the game!!!

Something I notice about the winner. The Chevy II leaves with the wheels down. Just something to ponder.

Larry, that car normally runs 5.30's with the wheels about knee high. they were saying that they broke a motor and put what they had in for power which had the converter way tight. for anyone who has not looked at Richards chevy2 they need to put eyes on it. it is one sweet and well built ride. no $ spared in it.

ep-I agree with above statements on Nick Hastings. I don't know him but they always say that winners cheat. the guy is bad a22 and makes thousands of laps a year with the same equipment. he is good at what he does so leave the BS at the door.

450 was not required .. 450 was the cap/max. I find it interesting that they allowed 22 extra entries in the race. I know they said they oversold it thinking people would drop out, but still ...

Do they ever post round results anywhere for these races?

Usually dragstory.com posts the round results for some of the bigger races they have a thread for it but I haven't seen anything yet.

If i had to guess the winner came in somewhere close enough to $500,000 that he gets to walk around and talk about he got paid a half a mill for winning a bracket race....

not even close

I agree. Nick Hastings is a bad dude. Calling someone a cheater with zero evidence cited. Not cool.

I'm guessing the winner got around 400k, but if the driver was not the car owner then there is another split. Then there is the IRS......

less and yes

Results will be up in a day or 2. The computer at was having problems copying the data to a disk, (not an unusual circumstance) so everything with the exception of footbrake for the million is on paper.

I will probably post everything starting with round 5 of each race.

Thank you for the reply Mark.

There you go folks. Don’t need no perfect combination to win with. Besides a little luck, the guy behind the wheel is a BIG DEAL imho.
