I'm thinking we should all sell our houses, move to the states start up our $300 000 truck teams, and become millionaires...midamerica's plan makes it sound so easy. I really don't mean to bash Midamerica Motorsports but is your math a possible reason to as why you don't have any cars on the track in a mid-level series(such as Arca, Hooters, NCats)

As far as driver's pay goes, I get 20% of my weekly winnings/points fund winnings and no salary.

AJ, The numbers I gave out are real and you can find that out by going to any NASCAR Team auction down south which happen about 3 times per month. As far as feilding a car in the divisions you wrote, we have raced in most of them, including USAC and the IRL, but I have no intentions of racing down south right now as the Industry its self is in a bit of a slump. Our Nascar CTS deal is 100% ready to go and has been all year but we have had no luck so far securing a sponsor and until we do the stuff can sit in the shop and collect dust.
We race as a business and until we can see money at the end of the day, its a better deal to sit and wait.
If we raced for fun I would go back to USAC as that is the best series I have ever been involved with and yes, it was fun.
As for your comment on selling your house and moving down south to become a millionair its been tried over and over again. The only people that make money in racing already have it, or they own the series, and the ones who try to copy them end up moving back home quickly, so dont sell your house- rent it so you have a place to return to....

aj here is another piece of math how do you make a million dollars in cup, or any other top series? the answer is to START with 3 million. hats off to mid for sticking with his guns, imnsho if it is a business and he has no sponsor it is the right thing to do, to go racing in the cts i hopes of finding a sponsor is one way to get to the soup lines. my only problem with mid on this thread was the math did not sound right to me, but we may define parameters a bit different.

Hill3, I am glad you seen my point in this one, but I am interested in where you think I am wrong in the math.
Please show me where I'm out and I will fix it if I'm wrong, along with apology's.

the numbers argument i have with your original post mid was that you could run a top ten cup,busch or truck team for 35000 a race. second problem was that the top twenty payouts in tops nascar series could run a competitive team. could be i am wrong that happened once in the last century.lol
