NHRA is only getting $$$ from me for one or two races this year.I am comfortable with that.If I quit my
car loss is less than $10K.What would yours be?So I guess your love affair for NHRA is a lot more $$$
loss orientated than mine.
Mr. Ed -- Much as I hate to disagree with you -- it was Bubba Linke who won the Stock-S/S race on Sunday with his E/SA Nova footbrake car ( two second headstart ) against all those "button" S/S cars including Angie DiTocco in the final -- so it can be done . As for the roll bars/cage etc. there is no rules that say you can't have one and I'm sure Tommy Goldman could whip you up something quickly and very inexpensive for your pocketbook . And my love affair -- well ,you're wrong -- its not with the NHRA or the IHRA but with cars and the fun I have with them -- no matter where I am .
