The IRS and NHRA, you gotta see this.

Not sure why Scooter would want on NHRA's board. His plate is probably full enough now. LOL
Way too many classes, too many with almost zero car counts (most there say "It's not my fault nobody else runs my class."). Why is there a class almost nobody runs? Guys build for those classes for a reason. It ain't to race heads up. It's to avoid it. Asking mfgrs to put up money for them in hard times is just wrong. Shouldn't get paid for a single run anyway.

Lots of unhappy racers here. Might be good for IHRA's car counts.

I don't care much for costs going up, but I own a business so I know cost to operate are going up. You either eat them or pass them on. You have to look at which would hurt your bottom line the least.

Toby, it wasn't that long ago, sometime around the last time all the fees went up, several members here were told by NHRA officials that Stock and Super Stock were not paying their own way, and NHRA was "subsidizing" us.

Now, maybe, if you apply some sort of political correctness filter to that, you get something out of it besides "we don't generate a profit", but as for most of us, we hear NHRA telling us we're not paying the bills.
