Joey stock and super stock are not going to be the reason for NHRA to fail. All this thread was intended to do is start a conversation that we need to think about what could happen to us if something happened to NHRA. Mark you are 100% correct that racers need to support their local stock and super stock races and I intend to do that this year. Local or regional organizations would only be a way to maybe get more people together for their common interests. Having a series with a points competition, awards and money might encourage racers to support the local or regional format. In my area we already have two tracks that run combo races. If we could find maybe two more maybe one in Indiana and one in Ohio, and have a couple of races a month, this would be great for the southern part of div. 3. The northern part of D3 could be Martin, Milan, Stanton and maybe Joliet or Norwalk.

All that keeps us from doing this is imagination and work.We've got a racers party this weekend here in Louisville and I intend to talk to a bunch of racers about this very matter. I think this is something all of us need to be thinking about. This is something positive we could do to make our sport better.
