Maybe it's a sign that stock class drag racing has gotten to expensive for you. There are other options. Stick with brackets or find a way to increase your income. Lots of gold laying around in Arizona. Buy a detector and get ya some of that yella stuff.

Your exactly right. I found out a while ago I was getting priced out. I still bracket race some and may even try stock again but doubt it. My bracket car is fun (53 Stude w/turbocharged chevy six) and my investment is low compared to a stocker as fast as the Stude. The fact is I'm not going to complain because I choose not to spend the money to class race. When I started racing it was more about the work you were willing to invest rather then the money. Of course that was pre shoe polish days.

Official word id this... You CANNOT run just the thursday/friday (#1) race. BUT you can just run the saturday/sunday (#2) race however you cannot get in early or purchase your tech card before saturday am. So hangin on thurs/fri and not racin not happinin. Some people cannot make the #1 race because of jobs etc but still bought a tech card just to get a grade point. then racing the #2 race.

IHRA has been running double race weekends for years, with no problems, Leave it to NHRA/racers to complicate the ***** out of it.

"Yet in order to run the first of the two, you have to pay for both (or you don't get to play)!"


Gary you have to be pulling our legs. This doesn't make sense.

There's no mention of having to run both races in their ad.

I am blown away at the price of crew passes at $30 per day! Test and tune $95!!

There should be some kind of discount when someone enters both races. Especially for the crew passes.

I normally don't comment on these kinds of posts but this particular post has boothered me since I read it earlier today. This has to be the most insensitive and ignorant posts I have read on this forum in some time. He is not alone in this current economy that have either had to cut back or sadly park their race cars. You don't know everyones circumstance and to say it in that way is down right rude. Perhaps he or his wife has been one of the millions of laid off workers out there and let me tell you, it's absolutely an employers market out there and the wage offers reflect it. Many of us have seen household incomes shrink to less than half of what they were just four years ago while working more days and longer hours just to make less.
