Hi Barry , I'm surprised nobody brought this up yet.

Lebanon is what I call a Mom and Pop operation..Earlville might be another one, although I've never been there. They may take pride in their starting line, and that's great, if their budget allows for it. They are facing inflationary issues, like NHRA is.
My question is directed towards NHRA and their Nat's and Divs and the racers who do that sort of thing.
If the price of glue becomes too much of an expense, I'm sure the non-racer suits will look at cutting back on it. They are definitely not going to say, well these guys pay enough with entry fees, so let's not cut the track prep.
We all know who's still going to get the salary increases.

Barry, I know you're not going to go back to an R/SA station wagon. But will other racers go that direction? Or, will they just expect a great hooking starting line at all times, for all the money they give to NHRA?
