Default Re: Ya know,

My post has absolutely nothing to do with the subject of this thread.

"...NHRA won't just give me the $20 that they're worth."

But, I got a chuckle out of that statement. Back in the '70's, we'd won so many trophies, we finally were able to talk all the local track operators into giving us $5, instead of another trophy. We had several cardboard boxes full of trophies. Only a few of the big ones really meant anything.

Hey, $5 don't sound like much now. But, back then it would buy around 10 gal or so of gas, for the tow truck. And, some of the small races had only a $6, $7, or $8 entry fee.

TJ sold several of her trophies to a single guy in her apartment complex, for $5 each. He didn't race, but used 'em to impress the girls he brought home. I often wondered exactly how impressed they were.

Carry on.
