I am having to look at what?s more important right now
I have nothing to complain about financially I?m not rich but I?ve always done what I want
And the travel is tiresome but I love drag racing and right now I?m a little on the fence
Haven?t raced since Lebanon valley and it doesn?t bother me
Good luck too all
My comments wasn?t about bashing Nhra
Try traveling from where I live 30 plus years straight it sucks

James, the Island is a challenging place to live without pulling a rig out of town to race. It just wears you out. I used to live in Stamford Connecticut when I raced and every racing trip involved crossing the GWB. Even the tow to Epping was a dreadful four hours. It becomes too laborious. I feel your pain.
