Default Lack of NHRA support for Sportsman @ INDY

Hi,

I went looking for a schedule for the INDY race........

Went to the NHRA website, found INDY, clicked on schedule and guess what......................................

This year INDY doesn't start until Friday September 2, 2016.......

There is no mention of Thursday Qualifying or Friday Stock Class Run-offs..................................

Friday has no mention of Super Stock Class Run-offs..............

You would think that NHRA, as stupid as it is, would promote the Sportsman Racing on Wednesday & Thursday just to make money....

As far as NHRA is concerned we, Stock & Super Stock, don't exist

http://www.nhra.com/schedules/FanSch...=2016&code=II1

Just my thoughts,
Bob

To the paying fan, and not a racer, we do not exist. How would a paying fan find us at NHRA.com....

Does the paying fan even know that there is Heads-Up class racing at an NHRA race????????????/

We talk about it, but how about NHRA promoting it????
