Unmitigated Greed

Chad -- I was so happy for the win that the money didn't matter -- but in the end there was no question about it -- we split ! ! ! !

As my dear old dad used to say "gonna be dumb, you got to be tough". Guys are out there with 1/4 million dollar race cars including haulers running for the same money it paid 40 years ago and youre worried about the cost of a few hundred more ? Makes perfect sense to me, that why I dont do it any more. Blast away ! I still admire the people who can afford to do though, more power to you.

Dan, I have to agree that it is the principle more than the overall cost increase. But if we take this without any kind of decrease in attendance what will they do next?I was going to enter my first NHRA natl in a few
years and try a few more points meets, but I have about 11 IHRA races within a 3 hour tow so I think I'll just save my time and money.
