Everybodys belts are tightened due to the economy,and this organization doubles their prices!!

BRILLIANT move NHRA,just keep giving racers more reasons to go elsewhere to race or quit all together.

Thanks NHRA for the price increase!!!! It just shows me that you are enjoying the low car counts at National and Divisional events.With the increase it will only get better.Soon you will only need one day for a Divisional event and two for a National event.Maybe you need to talk To Obama about Stimulis money to keep from going bankrupt.Keep up the good work you are only helping me to save money as well as many others.Oh we won't need your local NHRA tracks they won't have enough cars to survive.

Outrageous salaries for incompetent management does not qualify as "profit".

Boy, am I proud that I rejoined NHRA last year.

Tax and spend. But, remember to be grateful for what they do for the sportsman racer because "It should be noted that these fees, even as increased, do not cover the costs for sportsman programs. NHRA will continue to subsidize costs to provide these programs."

Remember at a Nationals they have a "show" They can fill the stands. They can fill the pits with more .90 cars. It is the Points meets they run purely on car counts of paying PARTICIPANTS. Dont attend one of those in Mass and they would feel it. .90 cars should respect any boycott also as their entry is the same.

Dick,you would be putting more of a hurt on the individual tracks than the organization.Just my take on it.

I though Herb Jr (or someone else with track management history) commented on this once previous that the ones that suffer from low car counts at points meets are the tracks themselves. That was the reason given why some tracks no longer host divisional events.
