Say I have a runnerup, a semifinal, and a 2nd round loss in the first 3 events. I am in contention for the title with a good finish at Norwalk. Would I spend another $600-800 to tow up to Norwalk to win a ring or a jacket? The answer is NO! This is why I quit racing NHRA after 10 years. The entry fees and travel expenses had grown considerably, while the payout, contingencies, and points fund were depleted. I know it takes sponsors to make it happen in today's economy and that is a lot of work for the promoter, but that's my honest answer on what it would take for me to sign up for points.

I'm with Charley on that, hopefully next year will work out better for me from a vacation time perspective, as this year has been terrible with only 3 days to use,, it appears that travel time for me would increase a little so any increase in incentive would motivate me just that much more to jump behind the wheel and Light travels faster than the speed of sound,,,this is why some people seem bright untill you hear them speak.

The ring is cool but how much can you really use/wear it ?. I like the poster The best real neat to have to hang in the trailer. But the money was not even close. was a real let down. $2500.00 would be cool . I would still be going their races if we got that.

In my previous example, if I were to spend the $$$ to go to Norwalk and I lost in the quarters, it would still be worthwhile if I went to your banquet and gor a decent check for 3rd place in points.
