He stays on top of soaring prices by carefully planning which races he will attend.
"I run where they pay more money," he says. "I go to Kansas City on Sundays like this one because the purse is $400 and the track is nearby. Next week it is Manhattan, $100 first prize prize. Also we come to races in Pittsburgh, St. Louis and Tucson."
JOSEPH ESTIMATES HE HAS been racing since 1958. His first major race was in 1966 at the Kansas City Titung Bowl, a champion of the National Hod Hot Association.
"It was a one-eight mile track national championship and I won the race in an old 56 Chevy," he says. "The first prize was $1 million. I tell you, back then that was not a lot."
One of his most memorable races was in 1973 at the St. Louis International Raceway. He raced on a quarter-mile track in a 67 Camaro and won the $4,000 first prize.
"You'll find big winning like that at the big races such as the Grand American Series Winterinational," he says.
BCAUSE JOSEPH races year round, his chance of wrecking his cars is greater.
"That one time was at the track in New York, and I bought a car that was in my Camara and a tire blow out. The car hit the guard rail and smashed up everything pretty good—about $500 to $800 for a wheel."
Joseph does not carry an extra engine with him to out-of-town events as many funny car or ton fuel driller owners might.
"Those cars run on nitro and super charge. I simply use racing gasoline at $4 gallon. I might carry spare heads or parts because I build my own engines."
Joseph's dracher is a digger, 215 inches long and painted in sections of purple, yellow, orange and red. It is definitely a pretty sight. The dracher is plastered with stickers from spanners of past races, in addition to the WINHA WINHA Internationals in Californie, Calif.
. .
EACH TIME the driver wins, the sponsor pays him money for advertising his name on the car.
"Advertising for a sponsor is where a racer gets his money," Joseph says. "This data can help to begin."
Bob Brents, Joseph's "pit crew," checks
the tires for the maximum six pounds of pressure.
Joseph checks the engine and parts, and then fixes a water leak with blue household caulk.
They both check the parchure that will top Joseph's trial or race. The parchure has been made by Joseph's last race three weeks ago, he laments, and he hopes the "danger" thing will happen.
While Joseph is waiting in line he explains the elements of time trials. The driver can race against the clock as many times as he wants to set a qualifying time. From the two or three speeds he has set, he then "dials" in the control tower for the elimination round.
A DRIVE'S time is computed by a computerized handcap starter in the timing tower. It clocks the miles per hour and the number of seconds to three-quarter-mile, straight aphalt track.
Finally, the wait is over and Joe rolls his car up to the wall, where the cars "burn out," warming up their tires on water, making them pliable enough to hug.
After he runs his tires through the water, Joseph, like the other drivers, spins and smokes the tree for two minutes. Then he stops and squeals a couple of times up to the starting point, where the "Christmas tree" will count the color signal lights from yellow to red.
His first time was pretty good. He was clocked at 157.61 mph with an elapsed time of 8.80 seconds.
An hour later, Joseph is ready for his second time trial. He doesn't do as well, clocking in at 157.34 mph with an ET of 8.83 seconds.
It is now 3 p.m. and time trials are over. Joseph is one of the first cars in line to compete in elimination rounds.
HE HAS dipped in at an elapsed time of 8.80. At the end of time trials he has the second fastest time. The average ETS are from 7.65 to 10.86.
Joseph is visibly unset about his loss.
"I guess it's just one of those days," he says. "The competition is tough. The game next to me was good. I was surprised that I went faster than my did-in time. It was more challenging." And the race I treded on them and they always a go little faster when they're new."

"Some of these players won't be good music for us and we'll eliminate them and the other team members," said another. By Feb. 20, the national signing list will be about 50 players who still want to sign with us.
"If they're promising, we will put them on a mail list and send them information on KU," he said. "We've got about 400 people from our college who want to watch summer we tested about 253 game films."
The assistant football coaches and Snorka will follow up with phone calls to prospects that have been interviewed, she said. They also request game film from the athletes' junior year in high school to prepare.

"Recruiting is fun, but it's very crazy, especially during that time," he said. "We need to be patient and wait with us at that point, but we never end up with too many players wanting scholarships."
prospects will be eliminated and KU will sign its 10 allowable players, Shonka said.
Until KU has the problem of picking and choosing from the best high school talent, the university is ready to ride the road most of the year, selling KU in places such as St. Louis, Chicago and Atlanta.
"You really have to be selective now,"
she said. "I used to be you should sign 45-50.
Out of that group you know a certain number
would be good players, but it's not like that
for the effort expended, KU probably will sign 15 players who are not from Kansas, but, Shonka said all the work is necessary.
