NHRA Stikes Again................

9 spots were left today for stock entries at the NHRA World Finals for drivers with a grade of 4. The nine spots were gone in less than 10 minutes this morning. In addition, for the first time ever, I was unable to enter the second Las Vegas race, and I had a grade of 4. I started thinking, what am I doing?? It costs $415 to get my wife and I into an NHRA National Event, even though we never sit in the stands or watch any of the racing. If I make it to the semi finals, I get $500, so unless I make it to the final round, the best I can hope for is an $85.00 pay day or worse. After the disappointment of missing class racing at the second Las Vegas race, after I won the combo automatic class at the April LV race, I decided to save my $415 and also skip the NHRA World Finals, which is 35 miles from my house!! The $415 will pay the entry fees to a lot of other non-NHRA races next year.
