I love it when guys come out here and say stop your bitching when racers have legitimate complaints about the condition of our sport - especially when these guys have nothing to do with the issue.

I can speak for some of the go fast guys when I say we have no problem with the bracket racers who do well in this sport. But for us the real problems come up when we are unfairly penalized for enjoying the performance side of this sport.

Sure, I would like to win a national. I don't go a national event thinking boy it's going to be great when I go out in the first round. However, winning a national is not my main reason for attending. I go to nationals because I can visit with my friends from around the region and to race my car; in that order. It's very difficult to have respect for an organization that will not live by it's own rule structure. And even it's even more difficult to have respect for people who say it's OK for the organization to play fast and loose with the rules. There isn't a person in this world who has the right to tell me/us how to enjoy our lives or to button up about issues that we see as unfair.
