Let's Start The Count

Rick you are right it's $290 not $390. Bad math on my part. But still could be an eye opener for NHRA to look for revenue elsewhere other than the sportsman.

I come up with $270

They only allow the fastest to qualify, not like it used to be with class winners and then the fastest. Winning "Class" has lost some of its luster. I cannot run .80 under so I will not attend, and no, I am not going to work harder on my stuff to keep up with all the bogus factored "fastest" qualifiers. Besides that how many of you real fast guys out there have the likes of Bob Shaw, Bob Dennis, Lloyd McKay, and Mike Senia run in your class during the the past 20 years. All these guys ever did was be so far under it would make you cringe knowing that you could go .000 on the tree and still not have a chance if they went .500

Oh, and I forgot, with what it cost, the amount of days in relation to time runs, the fun factor eliminated, it just does not seem logical anymore. I believe that Indy should be reduced to a divisional and Belle Rose should be where the real BIG GO should be.

Dave we just got handed a $20 increase. Indy was always $20 more than other national events so I'm figuring $290 now.

[16] IHRA / NHRA nationals and points meets within 6 hours from my house.. I guess you can say "FOR THIS YEAR" I was lucky to have that many races. Renewed my stock number today.. Guess I got lucky Superstock number does not renew until next year so I got stock number renewal CHEAP.. National Dragster renewed up 10 bucks for 2 years. Hell let's have fun RACING or "JUST STAY HOME AND BITCH"..

Why do most people BITCH about 20 dollars here and there.. You are going to spend it anyway.

Maybe because they're tired of getting **** on.233 years ago people were tired of it and did something about it.Read your history and you'll see that not everyone was ready to do something.Luckily enough were so today we're not speaking the kings english.
