Re: Racing without a purse.......
I would never attend another race as a competitor if there was no purse nor would alot of other racers, it's way too expensive to maintain the racecars and run the support equipment up and down the road with no chance of recovery of expenses or for free, just like I wouldn't go to another casino or sporting clay event if there was no chance to win money, I believe if NHRA takes that stance sportsman racing with them will rapidly diminish along with their enhancements like executive salaries that membership fees and entry fees support 100%. My observation is we all have options and it's not Illegal to save money in this country Yet ...

Re: Racing without a purse.......
I guess that would depend on the entry. I sure wouldn't pay $375 to be there to win nothing.

Re: Racing without a purse.......
Last month when Jon and I got to the Semis. =
We went to get our contingency verified and where there we about a dozen postings a couple years ago, There was only owene and they did not pay because we had purchased their product over 3 year ago -We got zip. I went to Semis on a $375. entry and got $500. - Whoopee! Basically - Compared to Racing years age we are pretty much racing for NOTHING! Do I Care? Not really!

Re: Racing without a purse.......
Check out your areas Stock/Super Stock races.
For me it's, Great Lakes Stock/ Super Stock Association , You are racing the same divisional racers that you race with at Lucas Divisional races Give them a try, You may be pleasantly surprised. For me it put the FUN back into this sport ,hobby , business |
