I understand the slot filler deal. But when a company has gravy money to play with they might not have been hearing you guys as clear. And if nhra fails at a national level they fail at the lower level. If there insurance drops them can you imagine getting a new policy in today's time? Not sure but I bet alot of small tracks piggy back off of there policy.

With all the interest in attending national events and the grade point issue, maybe now would be the time for our division reps to push for larger quotas and a change in the grade point structure.

In my opinion NHRA knew they were filing the lawsuit when the Pro purses were cut.

If you think sportsman racers are important to NHRA, just look at what happened in IHRA. And IHRA was not near as top heavy at the top as NHRA.

Can NHRA survive without Coke? Maybe, Maybe Not. The Coke $$$ 5.6 mil doesn’t sound that much but when add in the lose of the Spector income loss from the tracks NHRA controls, 2 Pomona, Gainesville, Atlanta, Indy US NATIONALS. Income from the % of Spector income from other canceled Nationals events. The add in the expense of Interest on the Atlanta track, the leases on the 2 Pomona races, the Mortgage Payments on IRP. All that amounts to a lot of DOLLARS,

Who know how this will shake out! Time will tell.

Maybe now is the time for IHRA to step back to the plate?

Get one started. You know how much fun we had in the Southern Stock Super Stock Assn. in Florida when you lived here. Unfortunately for us the SSSSA is dead. We haven't had any races in a couple of years and I don't think there is enough cars left in the area to support it. Maybe next year something might happen??
