You win $100K at a race, what do you spend it on?

[GunnSlinger]

Watching Luke win the T1 race at KOH was really something special to watch, something that Luke and the rest of the people watching won't be forgetting anytime soon. Just a guess but I don't think Luke is a day older than 25 and he just won the largest purse in off road history, $100k!!!

What would you spend your $100k winnings on??

 

[retroblazer]

spend the $100K ? My guess would be he's going to hand it over to the "car owners".

 

[Charlietuna]

Hire a very good accountant to make sure I can keep as much of that $100k as I can instead of giving it to the IRS...

Paying off part of the $1,000,000 or so that it took to get to that point...

Kick a few thousand down to each crew person that helped get me there...

Hookers and blow...

Any or all of the above

I have a feeling that $100K is not much to the McMillin's, It would be like me winning $1000. Yeah its cool but not going to change my life.

Pretty sure they spent more than that to win the $100,000. Drop in the bucket.

McMillin say it pays for the ice in camp after the race

My question was how YOU would spend $100k..

I know nothing about who "owns" the car, nor do I care.

No doubt winning costs a lot, but I'm pretty sure (almost 100% sure) that winning $100k at whatever age Luke is, isn't a drop in the bucket.

Cost analysis- 250 mile race in San Felipe- 2 weeks pre-running- Hotel Rooms and Restaurant costs- Fuel and time off work- Race day 1 month later and costs for crew and purse for 1st= ?

250 KOH race- 2-3 days pre-running- Trailer/Motorhome camping and BBQ- Time trials and race same day- $100.000 Purse!

Down payment on an AWD

The best week/month ever at Paris...

spend 20k on an XX to make into a racer and put the rest in my meager retirement account. $2500 was my largest stock car win ,$22k in a season. Spent all of it racing. maybe that's why my retirement account is so meager

 

[retroblazer]

Ok, so back to fantasy land, if a $100k dropped into my non-existent race account, I'd run Dakar.

It’s a full peninsula run this year and I’m guessing it’s 125k to do that race in a TT so I guess I’d put into something that could hopefully make a high return so the Baja Mil was free this year.

100k just ain’t that much money in the TT world but in my world it’s a boat load of money.
I’d pay off the raptor, take my wife on a trip somewhere, probably Europe and put the rest away.
Maybe buy a utv and a new Sig or F&N

 

[nimrod]

Oh wait I know, I’d run for President! Seems like just about everyones doing that this month.

 

[Travisfab]

The next two preps, lol!

 

[dan200]

I would spend half on hookers and blow and then waste the other half...

 

[ErikIrvine]

I'd buy a top of the line pre-runner buggy, used.

 

[JWK Motorsports]

You could put it all as a downpayment on a 1100 square foot home in Yorba Linda and still have a $3500 mortgage..
