Where does the new money come from?

Hey, let me in on your source for free cars, free race fuel, free slicks, free motor oil, spark plugs, and engine freshen ups. And that's not all. But you have to have all of that covered before entry fees, diesel, and lodging is even necessary.




"New money" could come from NHRA reducing their unnecessary management costs, like a lot of major corporations are doing.

That time will come only when the Sportsmen all find the scrodes to stand together and fire the BOD. In other words, never happen!

I agree with the sentiment, but since the proxy vote a long time ago I don't see any way that the membership can do a single thing regarding the board. The rights were given away - it was in the Wally days and most racers I talked to were certain they'd always be taken care of.


In reading all the paperwork I could find, only the board can change the board.

First, I run my program as a business. So, all assets have a depreciation schedule. But, if you wanted to put a yearly schedule on truck, trailer, and racecar, it would be less than $20,000.00 a year. My maintenance is less than $5,000.00 per car each year. This excludes upgrades as they are not a necessity.

I don't see that there is really that much money in that pot, even if you do get your wish.

To enhance the purse, the racers can put together a cal-cutter like they do at bracket races. Any racer can enter, even spectators and the last man standing gets the purse. Doesn't mean you have to win the race, you just have to be last that entered the cal-cutter or spectator that entered your car. Doesn't have to be big money, say $10. Per entry.

Entered one at the Vegas National in 2020 for $100. Took home the money! Would definitely do it again.

I'd be satisfied just to see it go to my friends in Tech and on the Safety Safari. Those guys deserve it more than anyone.

I would be in agreement on that!
