IHRA raises Sportsman purses!

buzzinhalfdozen · 11-16-2009, 03:13 PM

To my knowledge NHRA hasn't raised their purse at all, however after my first year of racing NHRA, I can say that they run the races much more effectively or at least seem to, we normally knew fairly early if our runs were being moved or just cancelled. They seemed pretty good about keeping the racers informed. At least in Div. 3 the tracks all are raceable. My 1 question was on the insurance charges how were they paid before they decided to just DIRECTLY charge the racers? Years ago I do not recall anything about insurance charges. Obviously they've found out they can make up any name for a charge and we'll pay it. I'd just like to know how the seperate charge came to be.Joe
