National Events 305.00???WTF
NHRA just keeps sticking it to us. Harder to afford this stuff as it is with the economy the way it is and now raise entry fee's again? They think that by charging 95.00 for insurance they can say the entry fee stayed the same so payout wont need to change. My racing for this comming year just got cut back even more than I had planned to have to cut back.

NHRA Announces Increase to Racer Entry Insurance Fee
Effective for the 2011 season, NHRA is increasing the racer entry insurance fee at NHRA Full Throttle Drag Racing Series events. Insurance is one of NHRA’s major costs of conducting race events. Insurance costs have risen over the years and NHRA has been affected by claims and litigation. Therefore, the racer entry insurance fee at national events will be increased to $95 per event. Though the increase will defray some costs, NHRA will continue to bear significant insurance costs. NHRA appreciates the continued support of the racing community.

OK.......beating a dead horse again.
I think several people have asked what is the insurance and what does it cover. I am sure once again no one from the sanctioning body can come up with an answer to the question. |

Re: National Events 305.00???WTF
Easy way for NHRA to slowly weed out the sportsman cars at National Events. So when does the insurance fee for the Pro's go up....Oh yeah they don't pay to get in, I forgot! I'm not going to cry and whine over the subject, the writing has been on the wall for years and it's only going to continue. Looks like a lot of bracket and Super Gas Association races next year for me. Have fun everyone running for that Wally!

Re: National Events 305.00???WTF
I have never ran a national event so my question is just how much did it go up? Not sure what it use to be.
