Gas prices are high, etc. Why do people always want to comment about the obvious, or is this just another attempt to get on the bash-NHRA train?
We all know that the NHRA isn't perfect, we really get it, no business is. But most of us who want to race will go and race. If you don't want to race then stay home, it's really pretty simple, no commentary is needed.
Virtually every business in the US is suffering. Gee, let's start a thread about IBM not selling as many computers in 2011, or McDonalds not selling as many burgers.
Really?

You did'nt catch the sarcasm in my statement? LOL!
I get tired of the NHRA bashing also.
I am all to familiar with the cost of going to races.
Thats why I believe local associations such as ECSSA and ASRA are at least one way to go in our future.
