I haven't gone to a divisional race in quite a while but when I did is was for two reasons.

It is fun to drive a fast car down the strip.

Seeing and visiting with racers from other regions.

I have never raced for the prize money, if money was important I wouldn't be racing.

If you are racing for better pay STOP RACING ..
I want to win as much money as possible.
Mainly I race BECAUSE I LOVE TO RACE JUST LIKE EVERY ONE ELSE..
My mom was right RACING IS A WASTE OF MONEY
I never listen anyway ..Still don;t
Casey stop crying you are running a street car in stock..
You are the cheap, side of stock eliminater,

That's AA/S or AA/SA weight. Though I have no idea what, if any, SS mods have been made. Still pretty fast!

It's really nice to see all the new cars and faces popping up due to the Challenger and CJ packages. Congrats to all the new owners on the impressive performances.

I spoke to Jimmy Ronzello at the Atlanta National event last week; he was running in SS/E with a new CJ convertible. He told me that they changed the 4 cams to a more aggressive profile, and, of course, they ran the wider tires allowed in SS. They did not change the intake manifold because nothing is available yet. I don't know how much of this is applicable to Rock Haas, but it is an indication.

James ....I agree with you on that...I race because I love it... A couple of racers and I had an interesting conversation a few years back....bench racing about who would still show up if the prize money was next to nothing and did it for the love of the cars and the sport. Interesting names came up.

Mom was right though..we do it mainly for the sport.

I am one of the first to complain about too much entry fee at NHRA races and not enough payout but in the end, you know what??? Who cares???

If you don't like the deal they offer, stay home. If you want to race against some really nice guys who love the sport, then you should go racing, end of story.

I have raced for 30 years and always mention the payouts and when I owned a track I thought it was the most important thing....I could not have been more wrong. It is about the EXPERIENCE, NOT THE CASH!

No matter what you win, it isn't that important. It is THE WIN, that you remember.

90 in Stock and the Super Classes look loaded.

I think Top Dragster was about 7.32 bump after only one session and lot of blower cars not making full runs.....yet. I would predict a 7.0 Top Dragster bump.

You should have been here, great weather so far.
