Default Re: Solution for our sport

How long do you think something like that would work for?You have to many out there with too much money,concern for their own agendas,fear of straying from the straight and narrow,etc,etc.
Think of the logistics of running all these organizations around the country9and Canada).You'll
eventually have orgizational squabbles that would make our discontent with NHRA seem minor.
These races would settle to small fields due to either economics and or travel distances.
As much as NHRA sucks in it's present configuration it's what we have to work with.And it comes
down to how many sportsman racers will boycott national events to send a message?I'll guarantee,
not many.Everybody praised Alex on the Class Nationals,then there was bitching about lack of being paid and other issues.Got to the point (i was told,wasn't there)that he would never do another one.
In the end we are our own worst enemies.Like it or not that's the bottom line.
Just my humble opinion.

I have the most respect for Pat and the few other track operators who have the vision to try to make the sport better for everyoue.They are to far and few,most care only about a sure route to profit.
