Re: Srac
 

Man, I hate to hear this. It is a real set back for sportsman's hopes. Just proves that those in the ivory towers don't give a crap about the backbone of the sport/hobby. Making us think we had some imput, they were just giving us lip service.

NHRA is just a big production company now, not a racer's association, with concerns only about TV rights, series sponsors, and BS shows to entertain the spectators.

I see the direction class racing is heading is toward regional ,non-association sanctioned, series where the racers are the show. Not just the fillers for, between the rounds, of the show.

Problems I see with that are; rules enforcement and when cars of the same class run off a dial-in rather than heads-up. That defeats the whole purpose of class racing.

So, where does that leave us?

Re: Srac
 

Woodro, Thank you for your effort. Do not give up the effort with the sportsman racing though. I believe there will be a continued place for TOP/STK and Jr./Stk. This is our inside out effort of recreating heads up sportsman racing and hopefully it will be recognized and picked up by a sponsor or NHRA as if "they" had the idea. Who cares if it works to expand its availability to the racers and the spectators.
Thanks too to GP HILL. Help find sponsors for next years racing of TOP/STK and Jr/STK and we can move ahead MORE>
See you guys soon....

Re: Srac
 

Guys you tried, and we really appreciate your efforts. I know i do, and i'm sure the others do as well..Thanks again, John Lang........

Re: Srac
 

Mr. Hill, thanks to you as well. I'm sure you made as great an effort as Woodro did. At least you guys were there, you tried, and some heard our voices through your efforts.

Re: Srac
 

Greg too! Man he was a die hard beliver in the SRAC. I know he and Woodro had been working their butts of to make this thing work. There is no where for nhra to hide on this one. Shame on their dog asses.

Re: Srac
 

I started to write a fairly long post about this...............but thought better of it.

I'll just say Many Thanks to Woodro and Greg for having the integrity not to be a part of the problem. I know you both had the best intentions when you accepted your elected positions and gave your time unselfishly to help to keep the sport we love alive and well.

Re: Srac
 

Maybe this should tell NHRA that racers are willing to work on problems, but are not willing to just waste time.

Thank you for trying.

Re: Srac
 

Thanks Guys, the attaboys mean a lot to me and to Greg also. Yes, he and i worked very hard on some issues only to get a slap on the wrist, so after a few times, it begins to hurt.
But do want to say thanks to each and everyone of you guys, you were the reason we were trying so hard to have a voice.

Re: Srac
 

Anyone else resign or did NHRA just fire the rest?

Re: Srac
 

Thanks to you and to all the SRAC members. I know , as well as many more, that the efforts you all, put in to this is very appreciated. It's a shame that it did'nt work to everyones benefit.

Maybe they shoulda took the buyout offer, when the money was still crisp......?
