But, I don't do it for the money, never have and never will. I race because that's what I do for fun. It's a hobby for me (and most of us, I'm sure). Because it's what I love to do. If the NHRA said, no more payouts, I'd still do it.

Tony great post, I feel the same way the little check is just a bonus. I'm just glad and thankful that I can afford to do this for the fun of it and the people I've been able to meet along the way.
Mike unfortunately I don't think there's much that we can do to change the current format because for 1: Its working great for them. As long as we continue to enter these Nationals the way we do they have no reason to change. They have it set to a point where they think it's most economical for them as far as running a national event and it helps sell the division format by making it important that we as racers attend.
