Hey Jeff whats up??

I could not agree with you more, now may be the time to try and organize the racers. I really believe that with some serious experienced leadership, like yourself, Dan Fletcher and others, that now might be the time to seriously consider a different approach to the situation. While getting 5 racers to agree on something is a tough row to hoe, there seems to be enough concern, that maybe we can come together to try and save whats left.

I don't want NHRA to go away, I want it to prosper, and make money. I just don't agree with the way that they are trying to solve the problem. I also don't think that another $200.00 is going to stop me from going to a National Event. I believe that what they are doing is the act of an organization that is in great financial turmoil and is grasping to hold on to what they have. Like rats on a sinking ship they are all trying to stay afloat. Sportsman racers are much like the Middle Class, we supply them with the bulk of the money/support to be able to survive. They also know that most of use will continue to comeback for "more of the same" regardless of what they "enhance" us with.

I am writing my letter to them with my concerns and hope that everyone does the same. The noisiest wheel always get the grease. I believe that we need to let them know how we feel and maybe we can work together with them to make it better for everybody.

Lets organize, I believe that the time is right and the cause is worthwhile.
