You got to be kidding NHRA cutting back prices.

When I renewed last month the girl told me they were going to 47 issues. Nothing about 24 issues. Jim

How much membership discount do you get for selecting electronic and saving them the paper/shipping?

Zero point zero.

I still selected electronic last year because I was bad about saving stacks and stacks of them. I already regret it since I started running the NHRA events, and don't have the hard copies to give my sponsor.

It's JUNK!

Pay the same money for 24 issues that you paid for 48 (sorry, 47 last year, issues). Plus no Rulebook anymore (but for another ten bucks, you can purchase one--yay). I haven't been an NHRA member in several years. Really glad of that, now.

Typical NHRA--pay the same (or more) money, to receive less.

I just checked out the new website, http://nationaldragster.net/. I didn't spend a lot of time on it; but, at first glance, it is pretty good.

I think it is crap to cut the product basically in 1/2 and continue to charge the same amount. If most of us were to spring this on our customers ... how well would that be received. True they have added "value" thru a members only web site. But there already are numerous non NHRA controlled sites in existence that offer immediate news in its entirety rather than "censored" reports NHRA often issues. Am I bitter, absolutely as I just renewed for $106.17 CDN and the "nice" lady never mentioned the "enhanced" new plan for less issues at the same money. I always look forward to my weekly "dragster" in the mail box, but now I am really disappointed and feel I have been duped.
Thanks Classracer for the vent ...
