NHRA FOLLOWS GOVERNMENTS LEAD ON FEES
I can tell you that NHRA decided just a few weeks ago to DOUBLE ALL THERE LICENSE FEES AND CERTIFICATIONS across the board. Even the JR dragster parents have to pony up double for there crumb crunchers permit's to race this season. The cost for sportsman chassis was $75.00 and now is $150. The kick in the pants is that the southern tracks that opened a month ago had there chassis for 09 charged at the lower rate and now us northerner's have to pay more than our southern racers due to the change being made after some tracks opened. The reasoning NHRA gave is that times are tough and they need more money?!?!?! :evil: Just like government, they charge more cuz they can and we have to have the certification. You may desire to check into any outlaw track. They don't care about certifications and are just as safe to race at. NHRA is not looking out for us sportsman racers. The cert is only a safety check, a .25 cent sticker and 20 min of one mans time if he is a little slow. You decide why the doubling of cost.
Sorry, but I have a bad attitude toward nhra since this surprise late increase.
