Gary Simons breaks down the real cost of drag racing — and it is not cheap. From $100 fill-ups for his truck to race fuel running over $10 a gallon, and a five-gallon drum of M12 going for $150, the expenses add up fast. With fewer tracks around, longer drives, and mechanical parts harder to come by, Gary says cost is the biggest challenge facing the sport today. For most people out there, drag racing is a passion, not a paycheck.
