If you feel you can't be competitive in your current class because it's too expensive or whatever, maybe think about sticking to bracket racing or arm chair racing. Whatever fits.
By the way, my slow dragster breaks less than alot of the fast ones! LOL

Maybe it's a pipe dream, but I was thinking that a class which had more spectator interest would be more likely to have a decent payout/entry ratio. When I lived in Eastern NC I ran a few bracket races in my daily driver. These were little unsanctioned tracks, but the payout appeared to be more than the entry fee total. They also charged almost as much to watch as they did to race, and packed the stands. I guess it helps to be the only game in town besides cow tipping, but people really got into watching old fashioned bracket racing.
I'm not about to petition NHRA or anything like that, but I did want to get an idea of how the racers felt about the current state of .90 racing.
I may end up a first round duck, but I'll be out there next year running really slow mph in S/G, and I'll be having fun regardless of the outcome. Okay, I'll have a little more fun if I happen to beat some really high mph cars...
