"They sent out surveys. Majority rules. It may not be the majority of the classracer.com demographic but it must have been the majority of Nation Dragster Subscribers. Just saying."

I have been an NHRA member for over 35 years. I didn't get any survey? Who did they survey, the ND staff? Maybe lose just ONE of the Force family soap opera stories and put the National Records and Indexes back in would be prudent?

I was told in December when I renewed that there would be 47 issues this year. Why was I lied to Mr Burgess? Jim

Re: National Dragster
 

I was surveyed. Can't remember if it was by Email or on the website. The way the questions were worded you could see the options they were wanting to explore. I think it was 25-50 questions I can't remember, I've slept since then. I think it was sometime around November?

Just read how to do a pro-stock burn out I'm sending my resume's
out. REALLY I can think of some thing better than that to do an article on
like how to epoxy coins to a toilet seat or comb your hair with barb wire
and look younger

Re: National Dragster
 

Interesting that if you look at the license and perm number application you download to fill in that it still says you get 96 issues of ND with a 2 year subscription. When I emailed NHRA and asked when I would get my refund for the missing ND's I was told that they still thought it was a good deal so no refund would be coming.

Re: National Dragster
 

I would, because I'd rather read about (see pictures of), our cars rather than funny cars!!!

Re: National Dragster
 

I would in a heartbeat! I let my ND subscription go this year after 30+ years due to the changes and "enhancements"....

Stock/Superstock all the way!

Acutally I like the New Dragster now just needs more reporting on the races , with The stats

Re: National Dragster
 

This latest format of National Dragster leaves me so disgusted and discouraged with the way the sportsman eliminators are being reported, it's making me really think about not renewing. I've been a member since 1968 and this is not the way to treat the sportsmen of our drag racing family. I'd bet at this point in time the pro class members don't even have to pay for their "bi-monthly" papers. The cost is most likely absorbed by the little guys. The bosses better start listening or they will have more problems than NASCAR.

One copy of Nitro Joe's Drag Stats has more useful information than a years worth of National Dragsters.

Re: National Dragster
 

My sponsor was not happy when they noticed that

1. No pictures of the Super Street final (or any other for that matter), where I was runner up.

2. No coverage at all - not even a word or stat - about the 10, 11 and 12 second index classes where my teammates were in two finals and the Div. 2 Director Rich Schaefer has worked so hard to promote.

I didn't have an answer for them as to why their exposure was nil from three finals, vs. three photos that would have been there last year. But I let Rich know at SGMP.

Re: National Dragster
 

I am so discussed with the dragster that I can hardly express my feelings. I've never commented or complained about all the neglect that has taken place in recent times with NHRA in general and now this. If this is a cost reducer then it sure is confusing to me---we now have a glossy magazine full of pictures, articles about (you name it, I can't)..
The national dragster and NHRA was founded on service to the racer, of which we pay a membership fee, they organize and promote races and publish the results.........well so much for that. To read anything about sportsman racing today we must get on the computer and search it out, well that's fine for those of you that can operate a computer, but for some of us that are hi tech challenged it's not so easy. I did finally get it up on the screen the other day but the print was so small I couldn't read it!!!!!!!!!!
It's probably time for me to quit racing anyway so anyone wishing to purchase a good C/SA '95 Camaro; give me a call. It use to be fun....
