Quick "BITCHING"
 

Why in the Hell is everyone B******* about NHRA doubling their fees. We as racers do what we do racing BECAUSE we want 2. If more or less $ 200.00 causes a problem, then QUIT Racing. Everyone "WASTE'S that much per year on stupid things like SMOKING and drinking BEER WINE ,ETC..

I for one love's drag racing. I have been around it since "1966" I do it because I LOVE IT. With that said NHRA NEEDS to THANKS their racers They DO NOT.. IHRA will bend over backward to say[listen NHRA..IHRA said THANK YOU] When was the last time NHRA say a WORD???????????? Much less ..Thank you..

At No Problem for the Sportnationals the crew [NHRA] that work the race told RACERS THANKS YOU for COMING. I heard that from a large number of racers.

At Baton Rouge IHRA national .."WHAT" a race great time. IHRA SAID Thanks for coming and put on a great MEAL. And when I got home they sent an email saying [NHRA ARE YOU LISTENING] THANK YOU for coming and racing with IHRA.

Just my opion if anyone has a comment "PLEASE" email me at bobbybrannon@cs.com or call me 318-422-4646


Bottom line "QUIT BITICHING" let's RACE

For me it really has very little to do with the added money, it's the principal. It's not gonna change until we take a stand. I'm standing, anyone care to join?

Re: Quick "BITCHING"
 

Well said Bobby, man It sure is nice to here someone else say it. I though I was the only one having fun at the races.

Re: Quick "BITCHING"
 

Comes with being "OLD" LOL

Re: Quick "BITCHING"
 

Hey Bobby, I'll quit Bitchin' when NHRA quits giving me something to bitch about! You can blame my attitude on me OLDER than YOU! :~) Hang in there buddy, maybe you will get there with a few more birthdays. LOL!

Re: Quick "BITCHING"
 

I'll believe an extra $50 is a burden when I stop getting displaced in the pits by stacker trailers...:p

Re: Quick "BITCHING"
 

Its not going to happen Bobby. It just in thier nature. Out of hundreds (or thousands?) who read this forum have you noticed its the same few who complain over and over. I can see the point of this last act of greed from NHRA upsetting most but its thier ball park and if you want to play you have to play with thier rules and buy the ticket to get in like it or not. The only other option is to go to another ball park or turn the car into a street rod or street machine if each still wants to play with cars.

Bobby,

I see your point, a little. I just remember when we used to get "car and driver, one crew" for one price. well they robed us there. (just knowing that crew person used up too much of NHRA's air) But everyone went on with it............And now ? I ask you sir, where does it stop? Belive me, I wish I had nothing to bitch about......just maybe the weather. LOL

Re: Quick "BITCHING"
 

Agreed. Many people go for the added benefit of being "old" and seeing their "older friends" for a week end. A common hang out away from home.

Re: Quick "BITCHING"
 

I resent that remark about beer, wine, etc. And a little "Thank You" or "Thanks for being here" would certainly hellp. Brannon, since I have to spend $200 more for all that stuff, then you get no more beer.
I am applying for the Sportsman Public Relations position at NHRA. Whoever is there obviously is somewhat out of touch. Anybody ever do any math on entry fees per race? I might do that next week and see what secrets are revealed. Maybe Sportsman (Comp, SS,STk,S/C,S/G,S/St) might be for sale? Who knows. Dan Fletcher's idea about Sportsman not attending a race is good, but over the years I have found us to be too scattererd in our opinions to pull that off. But maybe we need to organize again and see what happens. This might be the straw that unites us to action. Be nice to have a master list on the sponsors paying contingency. Anybody got one?
