what's up with that ?
going to be this way all season ?

Tom, it'll be interesting to see how much that count goes up, but I can give you 305 (as in $'s) worth of reasons it's where it's at now, and I hope it won't get much higher so that Glendora just might realize what they're doing to the REAL supporters of NHRA DRAG RACING...WE THE LUCAS OIL SERIES SPORTSMAN RACERS!!!

Gary, I'm surprised at you. Don't you realize @ $305 , that's a great price to be able to realize the NHRA experience. It would be a bargain at twice the price ;-)
Just watch here. You'll be educated...

You guys really think $305.00 is going to keep away most racers?

looking at the NHRA registration site just a minute ago the only classes that seem to have ANY participation at all are S/C and S/G virtually none of the other classes have much if any entries right now from T/F on down not much here at all---- Not sure what the reason is but if it keeps on like this ya might even get a bye for the championship if you are in the right place

Nope.. Just a few @ each new hit.

It's not just the $305... gas prices, tolls, taxes, food, lodging (for some) all add up, and the payout has not changed. When you start to do the "numbers" for a typical Sportsman racer that does not have some type of financial backing, you soon reach a tipping point where you just can't get enough bang for your buck to go to some tracks. The right/left coasts will be affected more than the centrally located venues because of the distances involved....

Super Stock 70 22 31.4%

Stock Eliminator 70 30 42.9%

Ed, I know it won't...but I wouldn't be surprised if it doesn't raise question marks over the minds of racers who still go to the races the way I do...pick-up truck, & flatbed car-hauler??

You won't see my name on or my wife's on any NHRA entry list this year. They can get there $305 from somebody else, Maybe a CJ or DP racer will fill in for us...........

[Tony Janes]

It will come close to filling. One reason that is is slow there is not much out of division interest this year.. No Phoenix National and Phoenix LODRS together. The PhoenixLODRS by it's self is not going to interest a lot of of people from out of division. The end of the year will be a lot different. The $305.00 is not a big factor in my opinion
