$305.00 Nat. event entry

Well, I guess NHRA just made the decision for me, was up for new lic.,chassis cert. ect. well guess what.... I'm not gonna feed these pigs any more. I like so many others was pretty put out when during very trying financial times for the entire nation NHRA DOUBLED everything, I sorta got over it like most everyone else. However me thinks me's seein' a pattern here. Joe

Jim Cimarolli,

Yes, I have, at the Gatornationals several years ago. A light fixture fell on the rear quarter panel of my U/SA wagon. North Port Auto Body, who originally painted it, repaired it and matched the paint scheme. NHRA sent us a check for the full amount and was very prompt.
I have no complaints about their responsibilities.

U/SA fair is fair

Well, I'm going to go out on a limb here -- a very short one -- and guess that the price of a crew ticket has gone up also.

Maybe somebody that has entered can log in to see how much they are. I don't know if they let you buy crew tickets this early or not though.

I'll bet they also raised the fee for a points race to their member tracks

Apparently NHRA revenues were down by 14 million from 2008 to 2009. In about a year it will be interesting to compare those numbers to 2010 and speculate how much of a factor it was in raising prices.

The funny thing about this whole thing is that NHRA is self-insured! All that premium money goes directly to them. Jim

Someone told me that in the legal fine print of how this NHRA insurance works is if you as a racer gets injured and have your own personal health insurance that might cover all or some of your expences, the NHRA insurance only kicks in after your personal insurance limits are met. Is this true?

I understand that the NHRA officials that work the LODRS races (excluding the division director) all took a cut in pay for their time spent working the division races. The guys that work tech and the ladies working the registration trailer here in Div 2 are some of the most wonderful people you ever want to meet. They continue to do what they do for the love of the sport I'm sure.

The recent fee increases might be easier to take if the racers heard that those higher up have taken a cut in pay to help out during these hard economic times, but thats not happening. Just this last week we got the announcment of 2 new members being added to the board of directors in Glendora, probably with a couple of hundred grand a year salary each.

Merry Christmas everyone!




Hey Dan Moore, you're #1. (Merry Christmas to you too)

You all need to read this article. The writer talks about Compton may be trying to sell NHRA. Two things jump out !. How do you sell a non profit? 2. One of the new NHRA board members is a lawyer who is a tax specialist. Maybe he's going to try and figure out how to sell something that you don't own. Remember the HD partners deal that fell apart.
