Re: Live from Maple Grove Raceway - NHRA Auto Plus Nationals
 
I feel bad for all the sportsman racers that went to the grove early in the week & then they cancel racing till next weekend.

My wish would be to have maybe 3 $10,000. S/SS races here in Div.1 in the course of the year. But the only bad thing is: We need someone(s) to run them.

Brian & Lee did a Great Job @ Numidia but i think they would rather be racing then watching.

Just my 5 cents worth. (inflation )

wow, good thing Atco divisional was scheduled in the summer, Remember 2010 races. It would have been 4 weekends or more in a row for division 1 racers this year.

Someone along here (excuse me for not "quoting" who) mentioned the insurance surcharge. I do feel that it is totally out of line for a national event participant to have to foot the whole expense here, but in case anyone is interested, EVERYONE pays the surcharge, pros included. And that means that with three teams as of now, Force pays it three times, Schumacher... (oh I can't count that high...). While I don't believe the whole system is fair, there's no favoritism in this case.

Force pays 3 times for 3 drivers,a sportsman enters S/C and a S/G car pays twice for 1 driver.Even the best of us can only drive 1 car at a time........

Maybe they do pay it also BUT there is no insurance charge at the points races or National opens when the Pro fuel junk is not in attendance. If the insurance is because of those cars.....let the pro junk pay their own way. They get all the big round and win money and the best places to pit. Yeah I know they bring in the spectators so raise the price of tickets for the spectators. They are the ones who watch that crap.

The Pro Junk as you call them does pay their own way ! What Rock do you live under?
They Pay insurance like us Sportsman Racers as well as entrance fees! The Pro Teams that I know and that's most of them appreciate the fact that we are there participating at these events along with them!
Do you race at National Events ? Or Divisional Events ? Or any Events?

Then WHY is there no extra insurance charge at points races and National opens where the pro cars dont race. Explain that to us please.
