Can't spend that much money just wanting to have some fun.

Probably not a big concern for you in your situation. They never tear anybody down at a Divisional except for a record.

They tear down a bunch of cars at Indy Nats. but at 3-4 under you won't have to worry about that.

They do tear down the All Stars at that race.
If you are a pretty fair ET racer and you go to every Div 3 event for a full year, and happen to be leading that, deal before the Joliet Nats, you can plan on a teardown.

Another case might be , if you're leading the Div. points after about three races and then you show up at a National race in Div. 3, and they're looking for a few to tear down, you can plan on spending a half of a day with Mr Travis Miller!

All in all ,dreading teardowns is not much of an excuse to not do some NHRA racing.
There ARE plenty of other good reasons to not do this stuff.
Stick around here..You'll see.
