The end of class racing....again...

Well I can afford to buy a top shelf stocker and race it but chose not too. I rather take that $100k plus and build another dragster or former super stocker that can compete weekly for 5 and 6 figures and race everyday, all day at an event!

That said at some point, sooner than later this will end and before that happens, sponsors will continue to part ways with the NHRA, the contingency program will continue to erode, entry fees will continue to rise while payouts will remain the same or be cut. If this survives beyond 2040, it will be very different than what it is today. Doesn’t matter me, I’ll be be bowing out no later then the end of this decade.
