Mr. Kennedy, I think you made a good point in your post"they (NHRA) don't want to openly discuss it. This seems to be the thing that at least I believe upsets most of the racers. They(NHRA) just hand down their decisions without so much as a paragraph before hand stating what they are considering. If you notice the IHRA did send out a letter putting the racers fears to rest that they were not going to follow suit on the increases. I believe that a little communication towards the sportsman racers by NHRA would have at least lessened the sting of this increase. I'm not bragging up IHRA however they do seem to be more in touch with their sportsman racers. Joe
