How much sales revenue does it take to sponsor a funny car like that?

I didnt think there was that much money in R/C

Years ago it cost aprox 50,000 to 75,000 on a perfect run I was told this by someone who raced them I don't know how true it is but i can see that

If you took all the profits from Spartan sales, I doubt it would pay for the fuel for one pre-run burnout. Just think that if Traxxas has enough MILLIONS to sponsor a year's funny car team that they could invest some of that $$ into designing and producing a solid FE. Of course that won't happen because their market research correctly assesses the projected sales/profits from their marine division won't yield a viable return on that investment. Note that the Traxxas commercials during the Winternat's are for r/c cars, where I assume their major $$ comes from. Oh well.........

Nope, but you'll need some Fram & Prestone, 'cause Spencer Massey beat Antron in Top Fuel. (Of course I only use Castrol because John Force is THE MAN !!!!!)

Massey,,,,,,hummmmmm

BTW I read somewhere, can't remember where, but I'm sure I saw it that Antron is a gas r/c boater and said some "unkind" things about electric r/c boats.

[ron1950]

Yep, Antron Brown and Martin Truex Jr. are both fuel boat racers.
