I think when we sign the waiver at tech or the credential trailer we relinquish all of our rights to legal action against NHRA. I have never really read one of those waivers and it doesn't really matter because if you don't sign you don't race. I only race 1 or 2 national events per year as that is all my work schedule will allow so a few more dollars to race is not a huge deal for me although I don't like it. It does seem that they do keep nickel and dime-ing us to death. I guess they see that the events are filling up with the reduced quota's and the price of fuel being less expensive of late so the figure they can jack up the cost of the sportsman racers and still fill the quota's. I am not sure where my breaking point will be cost wise. When I started the entry for a national was $70.
