National Events 305.00???WTF

[BKSG1198]

Easy way for NHRA to slowly weed out the sportsman cars at National Events. So when does the insurance fee for the Pro's go up....Oh yeah they don't pay to get in, I forgot! I'm not going to cry and whine over the subject, the writing has been on the wall for years and it's only going to continue. Looks like a lot of bracket and Super Gas Association races next year for me. Have fun everyone running for that Wally!

Yeah, it's easy to say i give up and I'm going brkt or assoc. racing........but we're still subject the the abuse via lisense, cert, sfi, membership, the track sanctions. etc. and etc.
Can't get away from those money grubbers............

I have a question.............whats happened to all the surplus monies from the ins fee.......there has not been crashes and lawsuits at every national event to burn uo the money.

I have never ran a national event so my question is just how much did it go up? Not sure what it use to be.

[Bryan Gillespie]

if you add everything up about $800 to a $1000 for 1 car

[Chuck Westcott]

Answer = $35 per event increase.
Looking at the big picture during the past year - Diesel is up- Gas is up My MH Ins is up, in fact I don't know of anything that has come down in price at all.
Instead of bitching about the fees, we need to pass these concerns along to our divisional reps. for answers. That;s what they are for, isn't it ?
Oh that;s right as of now they are consummed with surveys of some sort. Am I going to stop racing for $35 a race- answer is no and I don't think any of you are either.
Perhaps they could offer a credit for all the Mufflers we were required to buy and offset the Ins cost. I 'd be happy to send them mine.

Bryan,
How did you arrive at that number ?
Luke Bogacki backed into me in Brainerd while we were dashing from the rain in the lanes. Maybe I should have filed a claim with NHRA.

[Bryan Gillespie]

entry - 270
1 crew - 85
MH fuel to and from 400
racecar fuel 85.00
tolls- 80
grill gas 20
pit bike gas 10
drinks 200 LOL
I don't count food (like Gary says, you gotta eat where ever you go)

[jmcarter]

Well, some folks are not fazed...already over 30 entries combined for SC and SG. And it's only been open to Grade 8's for a bit over 6 hours!

I think that maybe Franks paint job is too nice for the Valley and SST ?

Or maybe he's afraid to run against up big dogs...lol...
