NHRA Stock Elim Car Counts Highest Since 2008

The economy is still not back to 2008 levels in parts of the country - cars are still sitting until owners recover or improve their finances.
Comp is a different story - the days of average individuals or teams being able to compete are gone. Spoke to a team owner a couple of years back - he said I couldn't do this now if I hadn't accumulated all this stuff over the years. He mentioned an acquaintance was building a comp car - had spent approx. $300K - not many people can do that without a Sponsor of some kind!
