The extra money you are paying is like the Govt. subsidizing low income housing.

SO let the fuel cars pay the extra insurance.. and maybe even an entry fee! That is peanuts to them since they are fully funded by multi millionaire budgeted sponsors.. what the hell is $270.. oh I'm sorry, $305 dollars to teams whose sponsors spend $3,000 every time their car makes a pass? NHRA knows racing to us is like cigarettes to..well..a smoker. We are going to pay whatever we can to enjoy that thing that makes us happy after a week of "life."
Put your minds together and formulate an alternative plan for racer's to enjoy their sport, while getting a fan base, and tv exposure. Isn't that why everyone runs NHRA events? It can't be for the payouts or the efficient daily schedule of events can it? It is solely because you want to win one of their events or a championship in front of spectators and maybe get your final round on espn2, right?
