1 1996 Chevy Suburban - $5,000
1 several year old Classic enclosed trailer - $4,000
1 1986 Monte Carlo Super Stocker - $14,000 (not likely)
The abilty to race the NHRA circuit every summer - PRICELESS!

That's what we have tied into our racing operation. Granted, all the computers/weather stations;data aquisition, tools and countless broken parts make this number higher...but not by much.

I love NHRA Drag Racing...There's no better atmosphere!!

My Point is those of you have not gotten it yet, is that if the price increase in racing is effecting your racing budget then back off on the racing budget or down size your cost of racing . regardless of how small or large your operation is .

I know that that NHRA is trying their best to help it's overall operations .

This is the US we have choices as everyone knows . You make your choice to where to race .

I made my choice to race NHRA cause they are still the best place to race ,even when, so called times are bad .

I support NHRA in nearly all of their decisions and want them to be successful so i will have a place to race, and will not intentionally try to make them less successful . If they are successful so will I be .

Ed -- I'd be glad to help out as I 'm sure Kenny would also but just like the Government we'd ask a few questions first .First -- have you tried to succeed this year ? Why have you failed if so ? If we send you money -- how will you spend it ? Hopefully not with that NHRA organization you hate so very much .And just like the Government TARP program we would ask -- what have you done to cut back ? There are no more freebies without questions ...............

On another note -- I can't believe you think the suits are sitting around some boardroom in Glendora planning their own and NHRA's demise -- that's pretty far out even for you .Also I'm under the impression that the salary cuts recently at NHRA were for everyone including those at the top and although I can't confirm it ( yes , they won't take my calls also ) -- its very believeable .Do you personally have other knowledge ? If so please share ............

It must be the business trends.................look at the Credit card companys........the recived bailout monies (taxpayers money) and now their doubleing the intrest rates

I never said they were planning the demise of the association.I believe their actions are going to bring it all down because of their incompetency and lack of a sound business plan.
This year no money no racing.It isn't the end of the world.I can go shooting on the cheap and work on
my 1965 American station wagon,that will keep me busy.
Oh and I'll be at Englishtown to support the Dark association.
Thanks Jim R for the quarters,it's a start.
