Dont get me wrong, I love racing more than anything else I do, but it would be nice if NHRA or even IHRA for that matter would up the payout some. When was the last time the payouts were increased?

I stopped racing NHRA for a few years, and ran NMRA National Mustang Racing Association, great group and didnt cost an arm and a leg to run a good heads up class, but, most of thier races are up north and for us at least traveling from Fla. to Chicago, Milan, Atco.. Etc.. all but one race was at least a 10 hour tow. But we had fun and met some great people.

I am comming back to NHRA racing mainly because I want to stay closer to home. And now both my sons ore racing so taking two rigs on a 10 hr tow is definatly out of the question at this point. I am looking forward to meeting alot of the people I have spoken with on here, and like with the NMRA guys, if I am at a race and anyone needs anything, dont hesitate to ask... I love helping others, almost as much as racing.
