Why Aren't You Racing?

$$$$ is killin' me. Cost of living increase with a reduction in pay. I can barely afford to pull the RV out of the lot right now. Also, trying to save what I have for an event I'll really enjoy and during the cooler months. NHRA costs have become an absolute joke as they're completely blind to the economic downturn with us racers.

I hope I'm wrong on this but it almost seems like NHRA will milk it dry till there's nothing left. Kind of like a kid with no business sense taking over a family business and running it into the ground. I manage a large building supply store and like Home Depot or Walmart when I'm having a slow month I make special sales and bulk deals to keep the cash coming in. When is the last time NHRA threw anybody a bone or did anything that made sense for that matter, Paul.
