Everything these days has "A sponsor"
The privateer is the wee little guy now.
top fuel - Lucas Oil and GTX John Force, couple of big tooth sexy ladies daughters help his cause.
Hydros. Berny Little and Budweiser dominated "unlimited hydro's" with 4-5 spare engines in the trailer(s). Trivia. Miss Pay-n-Pak had the first turbine. Allison V12's were the thunderboats. All open cockpit.
Now today, how much does the smart phone steering wheel pod of a F1 cost, carbon fiber is the norm. To sponsor a car, whether nascar, top fuel, off road monster energy drink, airplane pylon racing Redbull..............you need some serious bucks.
Even GraveDigger Monster Trucks. Think about the disposable drive hard go-wad-it-up-tonight parts money and T-shirt sales to keep the operation running.
