Who said we race for money? Although I do have friends that do.
Again, that has nothing to do with it. Leave the rig out of it, the rig does not matter, either.
Once again, you're making the argument that it is okay to treat people poorly, and take advantage of them, if they let you, and especially if they have money. That's an absolutely fabulous position by the way, you should be very proud of it. (It's also evidently a great business model for a "non profit" organization supposedly dedicated to the racers).
The cost of parts has gone up. The cost of race fuel has gone up. The cost of labor has gone up. The cost of supplies (oil, transmission fluid, brake fluid, etc) has gone up. The entry fee has gone up. The other fess have gone up. The salaries of NHRA executives has gone up. The only things that have not gone up? The purse, and the contingency payout.
Like I said, you're entitled to your opinion, and I think I'll just leave you to it.
