Mike,
You weren't at Englishtown this year...you don't know what you're talking about. It is cheaper to race.

Burning LESS nitro now at 1000',less testing and warm ups, not to mention very little in the way of catastrophic engine failures?

I would never speak for anyone else, much less Mike...........
After you get to the track, you guys are probably right, the costs are surely less. But I would guess the travel cost increase in diesel alone over the past year or two, might make the adjustments made my the NHRA a wash at best when you talk about overall costs. I might be wrong, but I'll bet I'm close.
Either way, if the adjustments made by the sanctioning body keep everything in balance in the wake of all the other operating cost increases, then that's great.

And . . . at least with Wilk, only TWO sets of slicks for the entire Denver race!
But costs on everything else continue to rise. Without two local hitters and Crisman, the field would have been short again. Don't know if Crisman will run next week, other two probably won't. As tour heads back east, it will be interesting to see if anyone else shows up with updated dragsters.

Oh yeah, I totally agree, Rex. I didn't mean anything other than that. The operating costs are outlandish these days, so whatever it takes to keep those boys and girls going...........
