I love drag racing, always will, but for the money $100k for a stocker think of what you could get for that. And even if you build a $20k or $30k stocker its alot. Just an example, to buy a legends car $10k, porsche spec 944 $6500, American iron mustang $14000, karting $3000 to $8000.

I always wonder how some do it, traveling, taking off from work, the expenses. When i ran my stocker i figured $1k a weekend, hotels, entry, gas, tolls, gas for the car, food etc.. It sucks because the sport is great but nhra is adding more classes, less track time, less money to win more to pay.

hopefully something will change!
NOTHING will ever change (it will only get worse) unless ALL of the racers stick together and demand it. You know that will happen.......LOL.
