Excellent post, Sally.

As a member of NHRA for over 35 years, I'm not likely to stop paying my dues(begrudgingly though) as some have already mentioned.

But that's not the point here.

Pat said in two other posts that many racers left (or will not be racing at) his track. Simple economics says, not as many racers, not enough money to pay the bills and keep our favorite tracks open. He (Pat) and others, have invested a lot in trying to make a great facility and support the sportsman racer.

This NHRA decision also affects many other racers (ADRL, NMCA, points bracket racers, and others) that need a license and chassis certification to be able to run their cars wherever they compete. All these tracks also suffer.

Unfortunately, the Divisional staffs and the tracks we have got to know and race at will ultimately suffer. And that will affect us all.
