I am confused

Jeff it's a dollar and sense thing to NHRA. They need the sportsman dollars, yes your right they don't want us personally just our money.

I have traded emails the last few days with NHRA. The conclusion for the added fee is to share the cost of the higher premium for national events. Point is the pro category has a higher risk and higher premium. Not to say each and everyone one us are not at risk. That was one of my points to them.

I look at it like gas prices. If you want to drive you will pay the price per gallon of gas. Same in racing and they know it. If we boycott as racers they will adjust and the spectators would end up paying more at the gate. It is a business and they know it.

Ok, I am done and will still race. I just won't be throwing my money towards the big wally just the little one!
