Hello all again.

I quit racing in 1996, and came back to racing a couple years ago.
I left for several reason, money, delay boxes, buy backs ect...
Looking back I wish I had never left. I look at all the good times I missed.

Never ran a class at an IHRA or NHRA race till last year at the IHRA
PRO AM race at MIR. 1st pass on a PRO Tree and I was hooked.
(Thanks Robert Jones & Dale Koncen they talked me into coming)
I never liked the .90 index classes at all. But that has all changed.

My point here is this race may not be the norm, but we must start some
where. I admit buy backs are not my favoite thing either, but I have done
it in the past and will most likely do it again in the future.

Lets face a couple facts here,
1) It cost a lot of MONEY to put on a race like this.
2) It cost a lot of MONEY to build a race car these days.
3) It cost a lot of MONEY to travel to these races.
4) This is a GREAT payout for a class race !!!

MIR is a GREAT race track, lets all give this a try.
The more susessful this race is, the better the chance to maybe get
a sponcer to help with the purce. then next year they may not need buy
backs to secure the purce.

Thanks for all the input, I hope Royce has been reading all these post and
keeps this all in mind for next years event.
