Dave, you're right, payouts should be increase to pay down more spots, to help racers. We could take a lesson, from the Modified and Super Modified running at Osweego Speedway N.Y and let individual who want to contribute to certain class to add some money for class winner and so on. I know that Gary Richard doesn't have to invest in drag racing but he does, mostly because he cares, one of the reasons whenever I have a chance and I need something electronic, I buy at PC.

Claude,is it me or do you see things in a different spectrum than most of us?

It will be a cold day in Hell before I would pay more than what these chizzlers are charging
us to enter div./nats.,to get better payouts.
And Gary is a bisnessman,and a very smart one.He will continue to sponsor the Div. 1
series as long as the bottom line dictates.His business will thrive with or without drag racing.The only product NHRA has is an ageing constituancy pushing a hasbeen product
that they are slowly choking financially.

Terry,I can't really comment on Indy,never been there.And with the current format and car I drive I probably never will.

Hi Ed, thanks again for the pills, tonight I feel real mellllllllllllow... No I don't want NHRA to make the money, the money the fans individually gives, goes on a board and is paid to the drivers because the fans want their racers to not go broke and come back and race again and again. Gary Richards could invest his money in TV or radio ads that would give him a thousand percent better return than investing in Div 1 racing but he does it because he wants and enjoys racing at those tracks, so why not support them I'm sure is his thinking. All I'm saying is we have to do something and sometime you have to put some of your own sweat and money behind. I've helped financially in the past our local track with some money when they couldn't make a full-purse to pay the racers, I did it because it helped them but also made sure that I had a track to race at. We have to look at the big picture. Ed it's too bad that you're not in Indy, we need different brands in stock, it's going to be CJ and DP country out there. They should be moved to Factory Stock, thus eliminating all the B.S. NHRA is causing older combinations.Claude

Ed.....You should go at least ONCE if only to watch class run offs in stock and S/S. Make it part of your "Bucket List" . The rest of the circus isnt worth watching.

I got to go once, and it was enough for me, to be honest. The atmosphere was great (not the DA, but the people and the scene!), and there was some good racing here and there, but the 1000' racing is a turnoff. With less classes and more racing it would be unbelievable. In my opinion, the Indy of today is no comparison to the US Class Nationals.
