Why do you spend your money with NHRA, IHRA?

Michael, I'm sorry if I exposed the real truth about you. LOL

Marc, Your reasons to compete in the big show reflect my own for the most part. Speaking for myself, I can only compete with those folks in a bracket format. They have to much experience in the fast part of racing for me! I like to do the "Nationals" side of racing because I am a fan also. And most of the time the nicest equitment in drag racing is on site. The other thing is, that I would like to win the Wally/Ironman (which I have not). That would put me about as close to all my drag racing heroes as I could want.

I want to say that I feel bad for the folks that know how to go fast. They have spent a large part of their life and have sacrificed lots of time, and lots of money. But to win the big Wally/Ironman, they must bracket race with a very slight chance of a heads-up advantage for themselves. Real drag racing has no bracket racing component! (my opinion). Bracket racing is the only way I can race against the real drag racers !
