JUST ONCE if you guys and gals would get together for just one event AND NOT ATTEND, you would get a reaction out of NHRA. But as long as you just keep paying the money, they'll keep taking it and giving themselves mega money for doing nothing every year.

Your Choice.

Worked on me. After two years of "special" rules that only affect a handful of cars different from everyone else's rules, I had already made the decision to bail on NHRA. I'll miss the people, but I don't miss NHRA one bit, and watching the prices go up and up isn't going to make me miss it. I'm going to Kentucky next weekend for four shots at $5,000 and two shots at $7,500, and that's just the beginning. Sure beat four days for one shot at less than $3K or $7K.

Our big money bracket races we promote continue to grow. We had record car counts at all four last year, so each event got a purse increase for this year, and more sponsors came on board. We've had one event already this year. Bad forecast, lost Sunday to weather, and we still had 489 entries, 100+ more than last year. On the flip side, not enough racers supported the Class Nationals, now there is no Class Nationals.

As chasracer said, "Your choice."
