NHRA Please Read

Don: Just in Competition numbers and Membership renewal (we buy an associate membership) we are looking at approximately $300 just for me and Tony to renew comp numbers (we each have 3 so we can race Stock, Super Stock, or ET, which ever we are running due to availability of cars since NHRA and LOCAL tracks won't let you run your stock number in any other class, even for one race). That's one race entry fee that we now can't budget.

May not be much to you, and if you know me, you KNOW we don't have a HUGE racing operation, never had, but as has always been the problem, everyone assumes you MUST spend to race. I have a 1996 F350 and currently NO trailer unless borrowed, usually open. I have a half finished car that I've been working on since I've known you. So I'm just supposed to take it in the rear end and not race??? Lovely.

You have great race programs in Arizona, I'm assuming. I don't have that availability, so what EXACTLY do you want us to do??? WHERE do we take our racing??? Bandimere is most likely doing away with any combo races they had, or have at least thought of doing so for the last few years. 4 races a year to race at locally doesn't justify a car, but WHY should I have to give up my car because some organization has a monopoly on the market???

Just questions, not a complaint per se, but it's always easy to tell someone to go somewhere else if they don't like something, there has to be somewhere else for them to go.
