E just likes the attention. that's why he quotes Tim McAmis.

Nothing is free.....

To get free entries, you’ll have to pay the house 50% of your winnings. Don’t forget the car owners cut of the 50% of what’s left.

It’s easy to gamble with house money (aka free entry and buybacks)

I just feel everyone entered and paying their hard earned money into these races should be racing on a level playing field. That goes for the drawings also.

Took longer than I figured for this to come up.Heck I was looking for it 15 seconds after final round.

I guess those who only made 20k or for week of racing where total damn idiot.Heck look what they could have made working for a living. Not to mention those who made 300 or 400k in one day.Yep got to be stupid to enter one of these races.

The split what ever it is was agreed on by all so they are only ones whose opinion matters.

We can all be curious and want to know but we have no say so in it.

Even for the top tier racers it is a gamble. The entire drag racing notion isn't exactly smart money, period! What 700 entries at over a grand entry plus buybacks for a swing at a big jackpot. If you enjoy the big money risk, then it's a hoot. I enjoy competing several times a month, and really can't justify in my mind that kind of travel, entry and time away from work for a chance at it. Just not my thing. Idiots? We in glass houses don't throw that stone. LOL.

I was pitted close to semi finalist and loaned him a fan to help cool car. He told me split. He also said finals they adjusted the split to what I posted. Lots of money. The way they ran the races was genius never to late and got all of them done.

fact semies paid 100k

I don't know all the numbers, but I just built a new car for the door car runner up, and these numbers match up with what he said.

it's wrong cause there was a different deal made in the final, er as rumour has it. Either way its pretty close and real cool for the 19 that made the split.

I think the most interesting part would be to know how many house cars made the split........

Seems like a few years ago at the million they had videos of the split negotiations on youtube as soon as they could post them. Heck they may have even been live streaming them. I didn't watch that one live but i did look through the videos of the split talks a few days later. I wonder if possibly they prohibited that from happening in this case for one reason or another? IE no cell phones allowed around the split negotiations. Just seems different than the previous million split talks and what not.

Definitely a cool race to win regardless of the split if you made it to the money rounds you at least hung around long enough to have some fun. Congrats to those who cashed and those who didn't, at least you got to race in it.

Hell regardless its more than I have made past 7 months on this house from hell we screwed up taking job of.

Hey I commend all that made the race and hats off to those who just made more than a lot of folks working for the year. Always heard if you enjoy the work its not really work.Winning at dragstrip and making butt load is just cool.

What divisional run one round on Monday then starts new race on Tuesday runs one round of new race. Then runs 2nd round of Monday’s first race. Wednesday completes Tuesday's 2nd race Thursday run one round of 3rd race then 3rd round of Monday’s race. Friday one round of million then 4th round to completion of 20k Monday’s race. Saturday 2nd round till competition of million. Then Sunday run 2 nd round of Thursday 100k race til completion.

I know I’m not going to win this one like I didn’t win this last weekend. HaHa

We were in the staging lanes for the split. We could have easily gotten close enough to hear the numbers but chose not too. It was more about the experience and seeing the excitement for us.

We had our first big money split in the 20k warmup final not nearly as exciting as the 1.1 but we left us131 pretty happy.

What the split was, I think is nobodies business unless you are part of it!!! I think it is a rude question to ask! Just like how much a hour/year do you make or how much did that cost. I bet all the people asking will not be in the position to truly know, by not entering or being in the split. That is just the way I was brought up!!!

You have a point,but the real point is that he did not win $1.1 million.

maybe in the high profile races in the future they should take the parties involved into the tower and hash out negotiations in a private setting. then if split numbers get out it could have only been one of the involved parties that leaked the information.

ep-either way quite a few people got paid and good for them.

Nobody is forcing the involved parties to answer. Anybody who isn't curious isn't breathing IMO.
