ill just stick to the local combo stuff and a couple close divisionals a year and hit a few bigger payout bracket races, NHRA isnt going to steal from me.

Why not... what options do we have? Love drag racing for 50 years. It just means doing without something elsè...like viagra.

AND there is the problem and they damn well know it!

JUST ONCE if you guys and gals would get together for just one event AND NOT ATTEND, you would get a reaction out of NHRA. But as long as you just keep paying the money, they'll keep taking it and giving themselves mega money for doing nothing every year.

Your Choice.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, "They haven't figured out how to make us go away yet". But they'll keep trying!

Worked on me. After two years of "special" rules that only affect a handful of cars different from everyone else's rules, I had already made the decision to bail on NHRA. I'll miss the people, but I don't miss NHRA one bit, and watching the prices go up and up isn't going to make me miss it. I'm going to Kentucky next weekend for four shots at $5,000 and two shots at $7,500, and that's just the beginning. Sure beat four days for one shot at less than $3K or $7K.

Our big money bracket races we promote continue to grow. We had record car counts at all four last year, so each event got a purse increase for this year, and more sponsors came on board. We've had one event already this year. Bad forecast, lost Sunday to weather, and we still had 489 entries, 100+ more than last year. On the flip side, not enough racers supported the Class Nationals, now there is no Class Nationals.

As chasracer said, "Your choice."

The added cost is probably to help offset the losses from the lower quotas, you guys didn't think they were going to eat all of that did you?

[novassdude]

As long as there are people on here begging to get into events because the quota is full they have no reason for them to stop enhancing the racers.
