Re: Racing without a purse.......
 
Last month when Jon and I got to the Semis. =
We went to get our contingency verified and where
there we about a dozen postings a couple years ago,
There was only owene and they did not pay because we
had purchased their product over 3 year ago -We got zip.

I went to Semis on a $375. entry and got $500. - Whoopee!

Basically - Compared to Racing years age we are pretty much
racing for NOTHING!

Do I Care?
Not really!

Check out your areas Stock/Super Stock races.

For me it's, Great Lakes Stock/ Super Stock Association ,

You are racing the same divisional racers that you race with at Lucas Divisional races

Give them a try, You may be pleasantly surprised.

For me it put the FUN back into this sport ,hobby , business

The ROI for Pro Stock boggles my mind.

[QUOTE=Billy Nees;658852]So would you still race if the purse went away?

i think the "purse" should go away and the winning prizes should be managed by the racers.

I don`t imagine there is one, through NHRA purses anyway. There is at least one Pro Stock guy that comes on here, maybe he can enlighten us.

Racing without a purse would include racing without an entrée?
