Inflation is everywhere ........
Later ...........maybe as the Internet here is as it always is - terrible at best.One would say i'm being negative - here is a positive - tomorrow is to be sunny and brite with temps in the low eighties .

We all must remember the T&T are TRACK OPERATED, they have nothing to do with NHRA D1, I can say most of the staff working the event left this morning, it's a little extra source for the track to recover from the rental fees to host a divisional. You also have to remember, if you roll in Wednesday Night, girl asks you if you are T&T or going to the beach, going to fly an airplane, etc. What's saying, "Nah I'm not going to T&T" and you have a MH full of 10 people or you're not even racing but brought the MH & Trailer (Ive seen people tow an empty trailer) and tell her you'll be back tomorrow, and you never go back to pay. It simply amazes me that we have these multimillion dollar rigs, nice cars and we gripe over $10 or $15 the track gets us for at the gate.
