The writing is on the wall for NHRA. First of all they keep raising the insurance to enter a national event, now $95 per event. Second, they have half the fans and half the entries from prior years. Third, they keep adding other classes to make up the difference of low car counts, this all started when they cut out one sportsman class per event. Forth, the economy is in the tank because of the socialist nut cases in the white house so no one can afford to race or go watch. Look at division 2 with the 10, 11 & 12 sec classes. We got pro belt sanders and pro ET and pro jr dragster ... what is next? Now they are talking about cutting alcohol classes at divisionals ... so NHRA gouges us, now gouging the sponsors, the pros are lucky to get any sponsorship. Maybe next year a AA/SA car will be able to qualify for TF because there will only be 10 or 12 show up ..
