Room in the pits, time alloted, lack of cars in certain venues, have to make room for the .90 cars that require less tech. ?????? Stock and S/S could be next !

Re: Class Rotation Schedule is finally here!
 
I just wondered why comp was the only one cut? SS, Stk, SC, & SG are at all of them.

Re: Class Rotation Schedule is finally here!
 
Maybe they took a survey (lol ) from the fans. I would think T/S would be more fan friendly as comparing them to the pro-stock guys.. And what Terry said ...The schedule just looks like they be swapping out from one to the other while everything else is pretty much the same....I think personally in the future there will only be T/S and T/D at Nationals for fill-ins between pro rounds...And divisions will run the rest of the classes with a Sportsnational thrown in here and there......Just my opinion <><><><><

I like comp also but its a numbers game (entries =$$$$). How many show up compaired to the .90 classes or any of the other eliminators depending on the area of the country. .

Hey Terry, i don't get it, no Class in Stock or Superstock at the Gators and no class for stock at Commerce, i can believe Commerce but not the Gators!

X-TECH MAN 12-30-2010 09:09 PM

Re: Class Rotation Schedule is finally here!
 
Yeah that is kind of strange. The Gators was always a big deal for stock and S/S. I guess they are just trying to cut back on the tech load?

Did they have SS at Gators last year? It was always like the first time in the year to race the Classes with guys from MANY divisions.

Did anyone notice that there is no comp. at the Dutch Classis at Maple Grove in 2011

Usually Rain's most years and might have to move those racers to Orlando so they would need 2 tech crews

I would say that 2011 could be a defining year for sportsman racers. Will they support a sportsman association in the future and IHRA as they seem to want to do right by the sportsman racers. Or will you (the racers) continue to be kicked in the ***/teeth by NHRA's lack of interest in the little guy with such acts as the bogus HP ratings assigned to the new combos and the constant dropping of catagories from race to race. Lower quotas to make room for more circus acts and the almost toal lack of class run offs for the Stock and S/S racers. Will YOU keep supporting this just to win a "Wally"? Isnt it time to start thinking about what is best for the sportsman racers as a whole instead of just yourself ? The face and structure of sportsman racing is changing even if you like it or not.

Why add TD/TS to nationals? No disrespect to those racers but isn't the schedule packed already? I enjoy those classes at the dutch but that is a specially race. Are we going to finish englishtown on what wednesday now. Nhra get you stuff straight before your tear the house down like nascar look at the stands at some of those races this year.

Let's at least stick to facts as we bash NHRA!
There are no classes excluded at any event this year that I can see and SS/STK Class is each included at 9 Nationals and the 3 Sportsnationals!
The way the fuel prices are headed the quotas will most likely mean diddly!

Bill Edgeworth 12-31-2010 01:17 PM

Re: Class Rotation Schedule is finally here!
 
Wonder why at the Vegas races they are not running class at the spring race and both SS and S at the fall race. That’s a lot to fit in 4 days.

Comp is locked out of six races in 2011, the same as last year. Three of those lock outs are in division seven. Sonoma, Phoenix and Las Vegas 2.

Re: Class Rotation Schedule is finally here!
 
Didn't see any survey I was at englishtown for 3 days and maple grove for two and also a nhra member. The thing about it is look at the other motor sports when you get too far from your base it will come back to bite you in the ***. Nascar was the hot thing a few years ago but was chasing new fans and dumping the southeast now a lot of the tracks out west aren't selling out and some of the old school fans have not watched like they use to. If nhra doesn't learn from that they are dumb, it is even effecting the fuel classes we are losing alot of teams and some of.the old school owners too. If you cut out the sportsman racers who do I have a connection to?

I found that odd too-it's not like comp racers don't travel to chase points at the end of the year or anything. I'm glad we made the west coast tour this year.
