You guys really think $305.00 is going to keep away most racers?

looking at the NHRA registration site just a minute ago the only classes that seem to have ANY participation at all are S/C and S/G virtually none of the other classes have much if any entries right now from T/F on down not much here at all---- Not sure what the reason is but if it keeps on like this ya might even get a bye for the championship if you are in the right place

Nope.. Just a few @ each new hit.

It's not just the $305... gas prices, tolls, taxes, food, lodging (for some) all add up, and the payout has not changed. When you start to do the "numbers" for a typical Sportsman racer that does not have some type of financial backing, you soon reach a tipping point where you just can't get enough bang for your buck to go to some tracks. The right/left coasts will be affected more than the centrally located venues because of the distances involved....

Ed, I know it won't...but I wouldn't be surprised if it doesn't raise question marks over the minds of racers who still go to the races the way I do...pick-up truck, & flatbed car-hauler??

You won't see my name on or my wife's on any NHRA entry list this year. They can get there $305 from somebody else, Maybe a CJ or DP racer will fill in for us...........
