Insurance surcharge for Stockers???

[bill dedman]

Thanks for the info, Art and Ed; I am specifically interested in this "insurance surcharge" that is a part of the entry fee and I have heard is something that NHRA tags onto the Sportsman racers' entry fees to pay for the PRO's insurance... I heard it was originally $40.00, but at some point (recently, I think) raised to $50.00.


To verify all of that information is what I am trying to learn, here. If it's true, that would surely disprove the NHRA's contention that "entry fees have not been raised in over ten years," something I have a lot of trouble believing.

Does anybody remember when that insurance business got tacked onto your entry fee?

Any information will be appreciated!

I don't quite understand. I was led to believe that NHRA is self-insured. At least it used to be. Jim

Jim,

The insurance I refer to is a $40.00 surcharge that's a part of the entry fee to a national event that covers insurance costs for racers running the Professional categories, and it's been a part of the entry fee for a long time.

That's the $40 I'm referring to.

I don't race a class car, so I only have second-hand information from a friend of mine who DOES run a class car, but he says that the $40 in question is part and parcel of every entry fee he pays at national events.

Is he in error?.

Thanks for any information.

They added the 40.00 on in the mid 80's if I remember correct.
