Man I hate to say it but this is a dumb post. If you don?t want to race NHRA then don?t! Stay home! No one is forcing you to show up. That would be a quick way to kill the sportsman classes at an event I can assure you that. And with tracks disappearing as we speak why would we do that?

First off you have to pay to enter the event before hand, so your saying we should pay the 350 whatever to enter then not show up? Stupid! NHRA would laugh all the way to the bank?..and it?s just stupid! Didn?t mention stupid? Ok wasn?t sure.

Stay home and mow the lawn and enjoy your life, maybe find another hobby idk?.

You are taking a GIANT leap as to interpretation...never said pay and not attend....,just throwing out the concept as I see so much complaining @ quotas and payouts etc I just saw a newer post with people COMPLAINING about payouts for stock again...complaining is not gonna change the situration

Tim you said it exactly right!! I've roughly,added what Linda and I have spent and invested in our great sport over the past 5 years and the average person would think we were RICH or plum stupid!! Are we crazy,maybe,crazy in love with NHRA Sportsman Dragracing YES!! So the well into the 6 digits of $$$$ spending has truly paid off for us,,100%!! Plus the many friends we have made over these years are priceless.
I would imagine there's a rule in the rule book about doing something like this.
Meanwhile I have to get my butt going to get ready for Gainsville in 2 weeks.
Anyone have extra $$$$$?? We need a good sponsor.
