AND do understand. Even I prefer 1/4 mile.
Speaking for myself never experienced a rubber check from any racing association.

Dan, I explained once, rubber checks came from the small rural tracks that had to pay IHRA up front to hold one of their races, then did not draw enough cars to cover expenses.
After hearing from the track owners (when calling about my checks) about their money losses, I just tore up the checks. Weren't big enough checks to make or break me. They cut prize money due to very low car counts. Thankfully I have a car that could run with either association. I only wasted part of one summer trying to support them. It was obvious to me it was a dying deal.
