Then & Now

Was bored at work and thought I'd crunch some #s.

I really thought the #s would be flipped
Total cars competing in D1

yr2000 yr2007

19 alky dragster 16
20 alky f/c 22
66 comp 69
135 s/s 172
220 stk 255
208 s/c 208
185 s/g 149
126 s/st 141

979 totals 1032

53 more cars competed in 2007 than 2000

What did we pay for a divisional in 2000??

I know it was 170.00 in 2007

Have the purses increased that much??

Maple Grove Collected $168,980.00 at the gate to race the Dutch Classic and Paid out Maybe 20,000.00
I know that we went to Reynolds Ga this weekend instead of the Dutch and they only collect $150.00 at the gate for a Divisional Event. That means the NHRA Div1 Collects 18,000 more than any other division and only pays out 500.00 more per clas for a win? WTF? Remember this is a hobby we dont do this for money so they can screw us

Yikes... IHRA Divisionals are $125-$135 depending on the Division, and nationals are $190 (including the $40 insurance surcharge)

$190.00 for nationals????? I paid $240.00 this year for S/ST at Joliet 66 Nationals.
and that included the extra insurance we all ready have from NHRA...
Not

Assoc.

I never did understand the extra $40.00 for ins.... The Track has insurance,NHRA has insurance,We get insurance through HNRA... So who get's the extra $40.00

Gary is counting car counts , Chris is counting money ,am I the only one that work for a living?

Chris, you forgot to include the $10 insurance for pit vehicles. This is also a big joke because, if you look at the form you have to sign, it states that you (the person signing for form) "hereby assumes full responsibility for and assumes the risk of bodily injury, death or property damage arising out of or related to the use of said vehicle whether caused by the negligence of oener and /or their operators, Raceway, other pit vehicle operators or otherwise." So why are we giving the track $10? I have been told for adminstrative work.
