Not so fast Billy, the $170 for a Divisional and $300 for a National ( multiply by S/SS field), comes in handy for NHRA

I'm guessing that you mean that it comes in handy for the NHRA. Well, just Stock at a National Event is figure $300 x 65 and at a Divisional it's $170 x 60-100 cars so maybe they better start re-considering Stock Eliminator Racers. But then again, I'm sure that they could easily get that many Bracket Racers to show up for their races, pay that entry fee and race for their ridicules cash purse. NOT! Bracket Racers are smarter than that.

Billy, if it makes you feel any better....NHRA slashed some rd. Money from the Pro stockers and cut the winner money from 25 grand to 20.....They did this very quietly .......

Alan, I 've been saying that since 2005.
May not be as glamorous as getting your picture in The Digger, being handed a Wally, but might be all there is, eventually.
My advice has always been to support the local groups now.
Those boys might not be around when you really need them.

It's pretty clear what's going on with how you get hp back or what parts your able to approve when it's a Mopar..
If you read the rules it's clear as mud on reviews and gifts givin on Mopars as well.
But this is pretty blatant especially now that they are listing the averages ..
They must make some good Cookies also.
