“As we embark on the journey that lies ahead, it is imperative that we work together.”

NHRA President Tom Compton, on the economy's impact on the sport

That will be $5 more per crew member please...

How much of his astronomical salary is he donating to the cause?

Tom Compton can't return an email much less make a beneficial contribution of any sort to a sport that we know and love.

Again why the heck is a 3 day race the same price as a 4 day??? A complete and total butt stuffing!!!

That is almost as bad as the "Testing" fees for running a divisional event. Here in D2, some tracks are $50. and others are $100. for a Thursday afternoon TnT, that would usually only cost $10.

No the extra 5 bucks is not going to break anyone......it's the principal.

I too heard, that some of the tracks will charge a early parking fee (in div 2)

The pay increase is to help NHRA pay the minimum wage (for the track part-time workers) increase the government instilled.
