Yes. A person can make a great living as a drag racer, or another member of the race team. NHRA, and IHRA race teams are much like down scaled nascar teams. NASCAR people make more money I think, still, but a career in drag racing can be very rewarding, and more often than not, it becomes a hobby, as well as a craft. There are schools that teach drag racing from building a race car, to actually going out and racing it. I don't know if I can mention the names here, but, where else would they be? So cal. You could probably even get a student loan.
