How much money do you get paid for racing a funny car?

Answer 1

Force, on the other hand, will race in relative obscurity even though he is bidding for a record 105th tour victory while trying to fend off Castrol Syntec teammate Tony Pedregon in an ongoing bid for an unprecedented 10th consecutive series championship. The media fascination with Schumacher and the Grand Prix circuit is puzzling to Force who, nevertheless, is impressed with the fact that a race car driver of any kind can command a salary that reportedly is $30-40 million per year even before endorsements. Force's take home pay from drag racing is considerably less although, based on actual racing miles, the two compensation packages are probably closer than one would think.
