To those of you who like paying **305 dollars to race for only **1,500 (at best) per national event, more power to you. However, IHRA is trying to give us options for our racing dollars without gouging our bank accounts to do it, and I'm all for it. I want the most bang for my buck, which is also why I don't go to my local tracks with my stocker. Sorry Gary H, and Mark Y., it makes more sense to me to go to a race or two like this than many like that, when I wear my car out less, and race for more money....

So what you are saying is you race for money and not so much the enjoyment of the racing experience? I prefer to race, I could care less about the payout. It's not about the payout. When I have to worry about the payout I will find another hobby. My first social security check will be here in two weeks then look out.
