Minimum APBA "cost" was about $75,000 to put on a race, and as I recall about $25,000 went to the purses. The rest went for insurance and sanctioning fees. In addition the TV spend was about $50-75,000/race.

Now remember two things....

1. These were early 80's dollars.....so it would be at least double that amount today.....

2. These purses were divided up by only 4 national classes Production, Modified, Sport, and Open. This mattered very little since most of the well heeled teams back then donated the purses to a local charity.....or split them up among the crew members.

One other point, back in the 70's we received "appearance money" (so much/mile of travel) for Inboard hydros and Outboard tunnel boats at most races in Canada and some in the U.S........ plus cash prizes and trophies for win, place and show.

I just found an old pic of Daddy Cool before it was Daddy Cool. It is the Spirit of Panama.

Was it the same guys who ran Spirit of Panama who later ordered the Panama Hawk a 35 inspired by Jerry Jacobys 37,5 Ajac Hawk?
