Good points Mark...the saying is true..."you get what you pay for"! However, if sportsman racers have to endure anymore races like this years Winternationals, that's not going to bode well for NHRA (the way they treated us sportsman racers there)...especially now that they're making us pay even more for our racing involvement, but our return on the investment isn't keeping pace with that---less contingency postings, and purse payout %, as opposed to the same for our classes just 10yrs ago! I remember winning around $500 bucks in contingency postings just for winning class back in '99, but this weekend I'm going to be running class for my coveted "Wally", and for just $100 bucks!!! I sure hope I can make it to the 3rd rnd (at least), of regular eliminations, to make a "FEW DOLLARS MORE", where's "Clint Eastwood", and the late great "Lee Van Cleef", when you need them!!!
