I don't know if I will go to NHRA or just sell my stuff and spend more time with my dogs. But I think there is room for some home grown series expansion at this point. I expect Rob's series to grow next year. Sad deal all and all. I really enjoy IHRA .

Eric,
I hope all the series grow and not just myself. The problem that I find is that people don't really care about the $$$. I know that sounds really stupid but, it really is true. That Wally, Ironman, .90 Trophy, Etc. means more to some people then any cash. Unfortunately, a lot of racers are very old school and remember getting $15-20K in contingency payout and you didn't have to pull teeth to get and they still believe they will get that when they win an event in 2017. Little do they know that they will get 1/2 of that and have to prove their first born child's blood type to get paid. Hopefully we'll see you at some races next year Eric.
