$500,000 @ 500 ci.

May have a little something to do with it

R&amp;D &amp; PROVEN RESULTS = $$$$$ </div></div>

I think you a bit low on both? Not sure but I recall hearing a lease plan for 500's was about a million per year

I do know for a fact that it costs $50,000 to lease a Pro Stock engine for a race.
One of our local guys started dabbling in that until the expense got too much and he gave it up this year.

Yes Marks Deal was pretty sweet. I believe he bought my crew chiefs old car when he went MMPS.

My referenced $500,000 wasn't for a Whole Season
of a Lease Plan.....But to Buy and own 1 engine + spares to be able to race and not Blow it up. (Blowing one up means pushing rods out of the Block or Pan, Busting up the Crank and or Block.)
Maintenance such as dozens of pistons,rods, a 1/2 dozen Billet cams, a Dozen Lifter pairs....some sleeves , ,,,, Valves and Valve train. Etc is just &quot;maintaining what you race with&quot; .........
Leasing a one race deal engine for $50k doesn't get you much to compete with , let alone qualify with.

A $1,000,000 Lease plan on a Elite type package Only Gets you The Motor Exchange Plan......If you Blow it/them Up....you're Bill Goes way Up.
And you nor your crew chief Can Not Pull the Heads !!!!
