OK, this should be interesting. If you could ask him 1 question.. What is it?

Ok fire at will..

[barnca2010]

I have to admit. I'm kind of surprised at the lack of comments.

How about NHRA purse at national and divisional. They haven't gone up in 20 years

[Tom Goldman]

The question asked by many would be about the purse ,or rather the lack of it ,and how they can justify what they pay the Sportsman racers in light of their rather exorbitant salaries.
A National event win now pays less than half of what it did 20 years ago.
Especially in light if the fact they have lost so many contingency sponsors that made up the actual "real money" part of the purse.

I want to know why nhra cares if we stack a few days before a national event. When traveling from one event to the next it is damned inconvenient to try and find a place to park for a day or two. Most rv parks aren’t big enough which leaves truck stops etc. I could say a lot more on this subject but will wait to see his response before commenting more. My second question would be on why the quotas for Anat events keep being reduced. Mike McMahan 2543 H/SA

Tom you nailed it!


Purses have declined, entry fees through the roof, no help from NHRA on contingency collecting yet they take the money from the companies to be a contingency sponsor and absolutely no help when the company does not pay.


Sportsman Racing is the back bone of the events. JMO


How does NHRA claim non profit status but yet pay the upper management the money they are paying, does not make sense at all.
