NO ROOM FOR SPORTSMAN RACERS AT HOUSTON
 

They have given all our pit area to Motor Homes on both sides of the track, consession trailers, all sorts of tents, passenger cars, golf carts, Pro Mods with lots of room for each, and Alcohol Funny Cars with lots of room for each. There's just not any pit space left for us and the track just won't spend any money to make more.

Now I'm sitting at home with no transportation and my truck, trailer, race car sitting in an old rice field with 6" of water all around and piles of dirt in front of the truck and no telling when I'll be able to get it out, at least I'm not hundreds of miles from home like some.

Nhra took a day of racing away this year and charged us more money to get in and some wonder why the car count is down? I believe it maybe even less in the future.

It seems the sport continue's to grow but some of our best tracks are stuck in the mud.

Thanks for letting me vent

They wonder why racers are quitting, after more than 30 years of racing, it just was not fun anymore, miss the racers, don't miss NHRA......

Jeremy, i feel for you, but i am afraid this is a sign of things to come and we keep right on going!

I miss Buster Couch and Lex Dudas.

NHRA= NOT HELPING RACERS ANYMORE

THere are other options available where the pressure is less and the people LOVE SPORTSMAN racing. Try NSCA . TONY will treat you right. Maybe racers should set one meet to try as a group so the friends are all still there AS WELL AS the racing. I bet a S and SS race is there as we speak...Good Tracks too.
It is a hard habit to change on your own but if you got 5 or 10 friends to try it the same meet you would like it. Great bunch of SS nostalgia cars too. GOOD tracks also.
National Trail april 28, 29 S and SS combo.

NHRA needs to stop the insanity. How did we ever let it get this far? The only thing we S/SS have ever stuck together on was the mufflers and a lot of you didn?t want to sign the petition back then, but Dan and I with a hand full kept pushing the issue. A great division 3 tech man told me it was a done deal, but we did defeat them on that issue, the tech man remained neutral on the issue.
Who is the best tech guy in division 3?

Everybody in div 3 loves the Red Man.

The other one, think BG.

I am not a person to defend NHRA, most who know me know how I feel about that particular entity. That being said it needs to be known that Comp and PRO Mod and a few alcohol cars were pitted right alongside stock, superstock, super street and super comp. It was a tough situation at Houston, for once I think NHRA made the right call. If the sportsman cars had attempted to move around it would have made a bad situation even worst. It was a huge amount of rain in a short amount of time and nothing would have changed that.
