They quit including a crew pass back when SG cars went 136 MPH. That is another way to get more money w/o saying that they increased the entry fee. Normally they are $80 each except INDY, then they are $100.

All of the increases ,I was told by a member of a Pro team, is to recover the payment for the Pro Stock Truck screwing law suit. Another source said it was to cover other law suits from pit accidents to suits from Pro drivers that died on track which I thought was a function of Draw.Any of you ever get a dime from Draw? I thought not. Who knows what the truth is but I mark it up as stupid greed in a down economy so maybe some will boycott but I bet not just a lot of talk.....we'll see.

Oh Tom, Let me tell you about "DRAW"..............They are the ***** !! Just ask my son.......
About mid 90's Jason was racing his murdercycle @ Terra Haute (1/8 mile) and had a ccident. Long story short, he got up against the guard raid and his arm on the back side of the rail , hit one of the uprights and all but severed his arm .......the Terra Haute hosptial couldnt do anything for him and they rushed him to Indy... possible ampatation. He was just a sometime bike et rider,,,,, Never the less Rosealee Noble was there on the horn Monday or Tuesday morning letting him know that Draw was there for financial assistance and they were there till he got back to work. Draw is independant from NHRA. totally on their own, and raise the funds on their own. NHRA will not give them *****........... Fact; The Draw folks and the RFC folks have to beg, barrow, or steal tickets to get themselfs into the National events. And thats Sad you'all.......... So, if you race.......support them.......you may be supporting yourself in the future. Rick Bailey

Thats awfull hope he recovered ok. The Draw auctions are badass and have good stuff but you can't buy it if the big boys are there.I had no idea about the ticket thing so maybe if I have an extra here and there I'll give it to them. Good to hear a sportsman racer got help.

Rick is right. Everyone needs to support DRAW. My wife was testing her super comp car on a Friday night in Orlando back in 2000 when she rolled the car 9 times and suffered a brain stem injury. DRAW was right there with financial support for a year. Even to this day when we go to a national event, if anyone from DRAW see's us they make it a point to spend some time with Wendi. So no one needs to think for a min that you have to be a pro for them to help you.

When Darrel Gwynn got hurt, Kenny Bernstein wanted DRAW to give alll thier money over to Gwynns recovery. When DRAW informed PRO that the fund was for all racers and not just one pro, He went on a profain tiraid in front of my freinds 11 year old daughter. Not all the "Pros" act like this of coarse. My point being that RFC and DRAW are a great for all of racing, and are treated in a poorer fashion than Sportsman racers, if thats possible.
