Default Re: LIVE from IHRA Sportsman Spectacular @ MIR

I being a working stiff like 99% of the Sportsman Racers out there, whether your running NHRA or IHRA races probably pick the races your gonna attend ahead of time because of work schedules or vacation time that you get from your job.

I for one would like to see more of the $5,000 & $10,000 races in the course of the year.
I wouldn't run any National Events anymore because everyone knows "The Pro's" are the show.
It cost me $305. for the SuperNationals & not that i'm complaining because Englishtown
is only 30 minutes away for me. But i would rather pay $305. or less, lol to run the big money races with LESS B.S.
NHRA wants more insurance money, more pit vechicle money, what's next ????

I wish someone would organize our own sactioned body, but it is alot of work for someone
to do & police the factoring of the cars, ect.....

Now, going to the dutch or going to vmp, everyone makes there own choices but you have to realize to, towing expense & everything else that us drag racers buy, some maybe can't afford the longer tow, or the longer ride, 2 hour tow vs 8 hour tow.

Just my 3 cents
