From inside info from the NHRA home office the Sportsman entry fees insurance charges cover the entire National Events insurance costs.
Yes, you are covering EVERYONE including the spectators who come in the gate.
This years increase/enhancement comes after the spectator death in 2010 at the National Event.
Thanks NHRA for allowing us Sportsman racers to cover ALL your insurance costs at the National Events and then treat us the way you do....

Thumbs down Re: Dont miss Compton in new digger

I have a novel idea....Why dont ALL of you stay home for a couple of races and see what NHRA thinks. Save gas and diesel, wear and tear on equipment. Make it a be nice weekend for your other halfs for a change. Yeah right.....I know that will ever happen. You have no right to bitch and complain when you drop your pants, bend over and say stick it here big boy every time a race comes up.!

Every picture I see of him he has the look of someone who just polished off a bottle or two of
Wild Irish Rose or Thunderbird.Maybe it's the buggy eyes.If I was in law enforcement and stopped him the first thing I'd reach for is the breathalyzer.Maybe it's just me.

Pomona:
330 sportsman @ $95=$31,350
Gators
330 sportsman @ $95=$31,350

That's a lot of insurance money.Anybody have an idea what the premiums cost per event?

Stretch that out to 22 events =$689,700.

Randall : after adding up all the entry fees, plus insurance fees, plus the member fees , plus the lic fees , plus the advertising cost directed to the sportsman in national dragster payable to NHRA and the cost for the midway fees payable to NHRA I would have to say the sportsman are heck of a good profit center for NHRA. I suspect their accountants know how much the sportsman bring in , of course if expenses for the pros (purses, insurance etc) are directed towards the sportsman income then I still think NHRA needs us more than we need them and we will always have a spot in the pits

It's not all liability insurance.
They used to insure the weather (gate). Not sure if they still do though.
