IHRA raises Sportsman purses!

uh NHRA did raise the insurance ealier this year form $40 to $60 and they charge you for each and every car even if the same guys driving!?! To the tune of $120 at Indy for me! So it doesn't surprise me that the "I" has now followed suit. I personally wonder where this money goes? I mean if no one gets hurt at the race and theres no helicopter rides, where does the $20-30,000 dollars go? I'm thinkin I wannna start an insurance company just for the drag races, that'd be nearly 1 million in revenue in one year covering both santioning bodies assuming this doesn't hurt entrys in 2010.. I mean you have to sign a waiver when you enter the track don't you? So whats the insurance for? I just signed a waiver that says the "N" or the "I" is not responsible and I assume all risks, and most likely that I cannot sue them either if something, anything happens, right? So whats the $50-60 bucks for?!!

I've said it before and I'm sure I will say it more and more until my dirt nap. GREED is one of the seven deadly sins! See y'all in hell!

I too am keeping my fingers crossed for the contingency Myron. Toes, arms, legs, eyes too, you name it, its crossed cause its gonna need all the help it can get!
