WHAT DOES IT COST TO RUN UP FRONT...

[@onenastyfox9767]

you are the first and only person to have this caliber of car and show what it takes to compete at that level. Keep it up.

Interesting vid, mate. I'm an Australia mechanic of 19 odd years now ( in my late 30's). I do a lot of street/strip motors for customers, friends and myself- but nothing in this league. The price on the engine wasn't a surprise for me, but the cost of the wiring and ECU and trans was a lot more than I expected!!! $25000 for wiring a race car that looked like it really only had the one ECU- which is great. Gone are the days where there were different control boxes for all sort of different things! And wow, $25000 on trans, convertor and bellhousing- that blows my mind. I've always wondered what a TH400 based Rossler was worth- well there you go. Being that I'm not really playing with anything making more than 1100 - 1200hp regularly, I've never really had to spend that kind of money- and it helps having mate's that own a diff/trans shop that look after me. I thought I was paying big bucks for them building me my trans at trade price around $7500. Thanks for taking the time to make the vid and give us normal grass roots racing guys an idea of what it costs to play in the big leagues! Boy it'd cost some coin keeping your cars running through a season doing no preps and grudge racing. I have no idea your schedule, haven't seen much of your stuff yet. But I enjoyed what I saw tonight, so cheers blokes...

[@raythomasson8660]

Man, I really like your stuff. I am just trying to go in the high 4s or a consistent 5.0 S10 and my G body wagon. I do bodywork for a living. It's hard to do for a guy like me, because I'm not a hustler or a liar, I work every day to pay my mortgage, I don't have a lot left over! I know Pat and Kye and Lizzy, talked to them several times. I just cant figure out how at 57 years old, working for the man, how to build a car that people can respect!!!!

[@southjerseysound7340]

I just stumbled on your channel and have to say you're off to a hell of a start. I subbed and was shocked to see how many subs you had, I figured it'd be at least 100-200k. But then realized you're just getting started. Anyway good luck and I love the real no BS content.

[@thegooniverse495]

Anyone really curious can figure out a these cost with a little work. The hard part is figuring out race cost. Truck fuel, paying the crew, maintenance, lodging, race entry etc. I would love to see a video on the operating cost of the team!

[@southjerseysound7340]

True but people are so lazy these days its pathetic.

[@icool247]

Racing is a waste of money....I love it

[@motersickel]

Dam.... those prices are just crazy man I knew it was expensive because one of my friends,his brother is allen Johnson and I've been in his shop and he threw out some numbers here and there when I was standing in his engine build room...but I've never got a real rundown like this...that's just amazing... I run an auto repair shop and used car lot... the budget I run on, to run my entire business is less than what your Shocks cost.... isn't that crazy...I'll tell ya.... one day I'll get there..... now, my business partner on the other hand he could get right in this Arena without breaking a sweat.... but fast cars isn't his thing..he's into the real estate, buying houses is his thing.... he isn't really much involved with the car lot to much...i turn the wrenches and my wife sells the cars..which compared to what you're spending is chump change and laughable.. but like I said I'll get there and you are right...surround yourself with successful people... in the last two-and-a-half years since I've came into the business I am running,which was basically handed to me... but don't let that fool you...i have busted my ass to get to that point and I continue to bust my ass everyday.... I've gained friends that are on a way different level than people i have grown up with... you got to remember... you are who you hang out with and that is scary thing when you start to look around if you're not in a good position in life... so keep your surroundings beautiful and positive.... I will be following you and watching you race...so go out there give them hell and kick some ass....

[@albenizantonio6402]

Hell yea brother! Man i cant wait fo the next cars and thats good about the 4 videos per week shit i stay on youtube and all the big names on here do almost everyday so millions see them u got the best set up aka faster car on KZbin when it come to vlogers period this gonna b big justin watch. Im just a fan of u guys for years.

[@archiedamon342]

Good work i stumbled on your channel like the content I'm a little bit of a gear head myself no where near the caliber your running but none the less great content and like what your doing

[@southjerseysound7340]

I cant say enough good things about Modern Racing too. I had them rewire my car since it was put up for 15 years and all out of date. It's just something I run mostly on the street and nowhere near this level, but they still did a amazing job. It doesn't matter who you are like some of the places I dealt with years ago. The work they did for me was the same quality as they'd do for any of the top guys they deal with unlike the a$$ holes I dealt with years ago. Like you said it wasn't cheap, but it's flawless and they saved around 70lbs off of the ancient stuff that was in there.

Dude another awesome video with the behind scenes Intel on parts and what it takes

[@stephenmitchell3569]

Super nice video! I know now I've turn down some NIB same items! They were half price and lol the names/brands I thinking was off brand...lol! Thinks change alot since the 80's! Running mid 8's in a car of used parts isn't as scary as the 10's 66 Chevelle high boy with drum brakes. 10 seconds of looking out the vent window to see where I was going! The thing wouldn't turn at all at full throttle..lol! Your car is a work of Beauty and oh my cubic inches! Great how you show success and happiness even when things go side ways! Education in the future for us old racer. All of us including the old gang at Honest Charley's in the 80's would thing NASA was drag racing. You need a Lab Coat and pencil protector!!! Awesome!

I played around with nitro funny cars in the early 2000's It cost about 6000.00 per pass if you didn't hurt anything . what Does it cost per pass to run one of these grudge N/T cars . including travel, hotels, insurance , crew, parts , fuel , you get my point.

He’s lowballing it too. I’m not in drag racing , but I know he’s not bullshitting. We run a traveling sprint car team and including the hauler we have over 1.3 million in our set up. And that was before we even got to our first race. Racing is not for everyone.

[@MrSlowpoke-jn9lv]

Don’t let the numbers scare you lol. Yeah, most people can’t afford to run out and spend 200k in parts for a race car. Not to mention you will still have to buy a rolling chassis for probably another 200k or more.

[@Charlesbjtown]

24 stacks for wires?? Nah, 2 spools of wire from the zone fam, works just the same.

[@hoost3056]

Great video, most folks won't discuss money and I am not surprised at all about doing a car like this. So realistically you're talking about $1M for a car, spares and transportation, with the car coming in near $350-500k complete and running all new equipment. Only suggestion about the videos themselves......when you do a itemize style vid, would you put in the description or at the end a breakdown and a total?

Set up tours of some of your parts vendors. That's something people don't get to see... Real tours, not a walk through.. show metal getting machined, stuff tested, backgrounds/training of the people doing the work, (might inspire some young ones to go into the field.) All I can do is laugh when you talk about the cost, cars used to get built for the price of some of the components. A magneto weighs more than the whole box of wiring... LOL I had a business partner in the '80's who knew the owner of SuperShops, the only real national chain of speed shops, ever. They sponsored race cars, a TF, FC, and a Pro Stock team. I don't remember how many years he sponsored cars, but Harry, (owner), said it got so expensive, he decided to stop sponsoring, and just have cars built, and give them away through SuperShops. it was cheaper, and better advertising. At one time, he also owned a bunch of the major parts companies: Mallory, Mr Gasket, and more...

[@RustyWells2]

Was that 6 kits on the motor?

[@benb6693]

I think that's usually what they are. I believe pro mod rules state 6 stages max, unlimited cubic inches.

@anonymous unfortunately due too price changes it had to be modified cuz a million dollars in racing isnt shit

[@RustyWells2]

So that's about 150,000 thousand dollars that you listed off not counting the car so probably about 250,000 total.
