would you expect anything else form them ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/down.gif) BTW, don't forget that they are a Not For Profit organization, which means they spend every extra penney on themselves and don't even think of reducing costs to the racers, Sportsman or Pro ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/puke.gif)

The press release doesn't even tell you what the fees are and what they have been increased to. You have to search for that. Cowards.
The new fees are posted on the form....basically everything doubled.... ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/down.gif)

Would you expect anything less from the worst run organization were the head honcho makes over $750,000 a year. They run like the government, don`t cut costs or salaries,just charge more. And they wonder why they aren`t getting full fields at some races. It takes a a lot of nerve to charge more like they are, but then again caring about the little guy has never been anything they ever did. If your not a Force, Al- Anabi or Schumacher they really have no use for you. Maybe they should charge admission to their ridiculus " Parade of Transporters" driving around LA next year.

Here Effective immediately, NHRA is increasing all competition fees, including license, permanent numbers, and chassis inspection. The new fees for these services are reflected in the forms available online at www.nhra.com/competition/forms.aspx.NHRA has not raised fees in more than a decade, and, given the current economic environment, NHRA needs to adjust fees to help offset some of the increased costs for these services. In addition, and at national events, NHRA will increase the insurance surcharge. It should be noted that these fees, even as increased, do not cover the costs for sportsman programs. NHRA will continue to subsidize costs to provide these programs. NHRA remains committed to sportsman racing, and these increases will assist us in being able to continue to provide premier racing programs at the national, divisional, and local level. Supply and demand my butt.... its called GREED, they have a profit margin to keep(to keep THEIR wallet filled) Everyone else is lowering prices and they raise theirs BRILLIANT ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wave.gif)

Pretty soon the Dragster will be electronic only, have to pay more for it and only be able to access it with a membership. only way to eliminate the undesireables... gated communities.
