Not the National Open at Ohio Valley.




Untested??? Before the track was even up and running, when they first paved it and set up the timing system, the *very first pass* down the track was around a 3.79, with a 0.9xx 60'! They've been open for a few months now, and have drawn over 300 cars for a local points race.



NHRA sets the purse. People travel all over chasing the same poor payouts (and sometimes don't even get paid, re: Zmax).



Why on earth would the owner want to have any more of these events? How many losses do people expect them to take? I know what it cost us when we believed the racers who said, "We'll be there next time!" for the Class Nationals. (I appreciate the h*ll out of everyone who actually DID support us!)

I swear, I have never in my life seen so many excuses from people to NOT race than from Nat'l/Div'l event racers. Yes, they're individually certainly all valid excuses. Just don't assume that tracks/promoters are going to keep throwing good money after bad.

Really ?Did you ever think us people that race nationals and divisional a race cause we love to race? Michael let's be real about your class nationals. You stopped doing it because you couldn't make enough $$$. To satisfy your needs. Ya nhra sucks at times but you no before you buy in what you're there for TOO. WIN. Keep promoting your races cause that's the answer to all our problems
