there is not an ET World Champion and they don't get to race at VMP.

the only way to collect contingency is to win vs the box winner also

don't know about your car but my stocker is a Terrible ET car!

I don't care to win a trophy with ET on it, want mine to say STOCK WINNER!

Keep it up and there will be nothing but ET and pro's anyway, wish we would all band together so the sanctioning bodies and tracks and sponsors could pay what they paid in the 70's and 80's.

If you want T/S or T/D pay....build you one....if you want T/F dragster pay, build you one...if you spent that much money on your SS car, it was probably because you wanted to, or did you say...("If I build me a 1st class SS car for $100k, I bet I could make that back in 20 or 30 years!")

Come to the races, have a good time, hang out with great people. If you happen to win....take the check to the bank. If you loose 1st round like I usually do, support your friends that are still in. Either way, leave the track with a smile on your face because we get to do something that many many people in this world could only dream of doing!
