Grade 4 lives matter - Page 2

It is financial discrimination. One look around the pits and I easily see it. But we enjoy beating the 100K 8 second mustangs soo much we keep coming back

Can't imagine what it must be like to just pull up to the diesel pump with a unlimited business credit card.

Each grading point is roughly $1000
To get into Pomona it will cost $6000 plus $330 (with special insurance)

Is it really worth it?

This is nationwide. People are spending $4k to $6k to enter a National Event, for what? A chance at a Wally? A week of being filler for the Pro's? Getting your schedule moved-around as the NHRA sees fit?

Gluttons for punishment I guess.....

Past champs, no problem, no grade points needed, just enter, I can't blame them if the event is local.

You guys need to quit whining about not getting in to Vegas or Pomona. You sound like a bunch of entitled whiny millennial's
The quota has been 75 for 10 months now.
life is not far and we all can't get a trophy. Buck up get 5 grading points for 2017 and learn from your mistakes. There's a reason C Bob and others have 6-8 grade points per year and its because we like to race and don't like getting locked out of a events we want to run. Sorry guys Bernie Sanders lost a few months ago.

Make American Great Again
Less Whining, more foot to *****

^^^^^^^There ya go!!

$1000 per PTS meet, come on that's a little much Daran. I bet if you tried you could cut that number down to $700 easy.

I think it is more like $1300 to $1500 for races within 500 miles.

I guess I need a new calculator

I don't count tires or winter rebuilds

We are drag racers. Money is overrated. Why keep track

Charley Downing · 10-21-2016, 05:39 PM
