Ed,

Tom C. needs a raise. $707,000 per year just don't cut it anymore.

This is totally unbelievable! Jim

You didn't miss the part about the National Event fees, did you?

I wouldn't call it greed .I'd call it trying to bail out a sinking ship.

Well I'm happy that I am renewed up until 2010, but this is just asinine. What a bunch of vultures. I guess I'll just drop my SS and ET number so they can't fleece me too much.

The sad part is if any of us wanted to walk away at this point we'd be left with thousand of dollars of junk sitting in our driveways (provided we couldn't find someone to buy the stuff). The handful of leaches in charge of the NHRA are going to walk away as millionaires.

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".
