No, it isn't. Were you expecting anything different?

Oh, it was really nice how they told us that even with the fees, we weren't paying our own way, and were being "subsidized".

You can complain all you'd like on this board (and that's fine) but if you don't like what's happening - WRITE-WRITE-WRITE-CALL-CALL-CALL. Talk to your DDs. E-mail. Whatever.

Dan if you don't go I won't go.

Meanwhile, George Howard puts on TWO $10K races for a single $95 entry, and draws 400 cars. Maybe if he doubled the entry fee, he'd get twice as many cars... er, right? I know one track doubled the cost to join Points, and membership dropped by more than half. I used to call it Carolina Math, but maybe it should be NHRA Math.

Boy, am I proud that I rejoined NHRA last year.

As car counts dwindle due to the "How to make friends and influence people" decisions, how long before they decide that instituting buybacks will be 'regrettably the only financially viable solution for NHRA. However, we remain committed to the Sportsman racer as the backbone of our organization.'

I just looked on the nat. event reg. site........they haven't changed entry there as of yet!.

Dan, I'm all for the ban, and "Indy" would be the biggest insult to NHRA however I'd hate to waste most of the season before trying to make a stand...................that is if you were refering to the US Nats. Maybe it needs to start at home...........with the div. races.
