I wish they'd send me the rulebook again and keep the ND.

x 2!!! I love having an actual Rulebook in my hand. IHRA made the rulebook on a CD for one year. People disliked it, so they went back to a paper rulebook after. Like someone once said here "What are the tech officials/Association officials going to do--walk around with a laptop in their back pocket?!" Just another case of paying more, and getting less.

Several years ago, you got the rule book included, AND a "free" T shirt. Now you get neither, but you still get a hat pin. Yipeee.

Be thankful for the free t-shirt. I`ve been a member since `82 and have never gotten a shirt unless I paid for it. I still don`t have one.

Been a member since late '60s, don't remember any tee shirts.

Ask Jeff, probably a member since '55. Used to wear a beer opener on a string around his neck until pop tops came along.

I always try to renew my membership at the National event in Joliet every year,and by doing so ,I get a free NHRA membership t-shirt.

If I remember correctly; for awhile you got a free t-shirt if you renewed at the midway kiosk at a national event. At other times they gave you one of the Diamond P tapes. I used to renew at Englishtown every year to get the extra perk. I don't think it was offered if you renewed via mail.

Regardless of how you slice it you don't get nearly as much for your money now. As far as the cost difference for Canada, while I agree that postage to Canada is a higher it doesn't justify the large price spread between us and the U.S.
