The gas pickups do not get paid either. Only the modified trucks. $5-$10 dollars of everybody's hook fee goes into the sled fund to pay for the new sled and finish paying off the little sled. The remaining money from the hooks goes into expenses such as advertising, insurance, sled transportation, pa systems, etc. I'm all for a payout for you guys but I'm not the one you have to convince...it's the rest of the general members. If you want a voice, PLEASE come to our meeting next month. That's the best (and usually only) place to make some changes. Keep an eye on our website for the date and location. We need to have you guys help us get some strictly diesel sponsors that will throw some money in the kitty for certain pulls and we will be happy to pay that money back out to you guys. There is hundreds of performance companies out there, I know we can get some money from them and we WILL give them their money's worth at each show (posters, announcing, banners, class sponsors, etc.)
