I don't think a meeting is going to change the format that has been chosen by the 2 people that are organizing the program. It is unfortunate that the NHRA div 1 rules for T/D are not good enough.

Scott,
I can appreciate wanting to race with people who have the same Go-Fast mindset. BUT TOP DRAGSTER IS STILL A BRACKET RACE. Remember how quickly the heads-up Pro-Comp class attempts at LVD and NED turned into spending contests. As I posted earlier if all of the "fast" cars come out, us 7.50 - 7.70 guys wont qualify anyway, and at $100.00 a DNQ the odds of non-qualifiers coming back twice is unlikely. I like Wayne and I would have enjoyed supporting the program. But I am cannot justify buying a $ 800.00 plate set-up and a $1200.00 firesuit to try and go faster at a place that my and other 7.50 cars already have downtrack traction issues.
The first time some of the traveling folks come down and go double "0" on some one but have to lift or miss the number because they blew the tires off at 800 feet, you may have a hard time getting them to come back.
