Re: Now this is MESSED UP!
You asked what you are doing wrong. You chose not to play soft ball and you chose to race so you can loose all your money. The only thing that I can think of worse, is your March Madness brackets after the first round. Holy crap.

Re: Now this is MESSED UP!
Don't you think paying for, and maintaining a big racing facility cost more than using a city or county owned ball diamond? And all the personel it takes to put on a race, instead of a few umpires? Even after you leave out the huge profit NHRA is making, it would not be apples to apples.

Plus those ball players actually stick together and show up to support the sport.

Re: Now this is MESSED UP!
NO, you guys got it wrong. I played in a bunch of softball leagues, the payout is in proportion to the amount of beer they drink!

Re: Now this is MESSED UP!
Heres a thought. Beer company at national events sponsoring S/SS and %of proceeds go to payouts. First round losers would get paid very well. All racers have to run beer company decal.
