Hawk's haul - SPOILERS

So, it turns out Hawk will become quite well-fixed off the winnings of one arm wrestling match...a brand new semi plus $198,000 in cash ($100k prize money plus the money he bet on himself). I wonder if Hawk and Son went on to build a trucking empire like Cutler?

Please finishe the math...

$7k at 20-1 odds made him a $140,000 winner.

Counting taxes at the time for that plus his $100k prize money puts him at a total take of $170k roughly.

If he sold the truck, which by the way was his primary source of income at the time, he'd net about $300k.
