I am relatively new to the Forum, but I do not think that posts like Mr. Perrone's are very positive , nor are they necessary. Is there really a need to be so nasty?

I ran a Super Stocker back in the early 70's and left the sport when I went to work for the government. I got back into drag racing in a bracket car back in 2003. At the end of last year I decided to try class rcing again. I have just finished converting my bracket car to a Stock Eliminator car. I too was a little dishartened to see that the index was dropped .3. I ,like the Hawks will do the best I can until I am able to get my car to run a competitive et.

I appreciate all the work that you other racers put into your cars. I know that class racing is expensive, and like many retirees I have a limited racing budget. Like many of you, I fear that the NHRA will eventually phase us out of existance. When that happens I will race my very expensive class car in the bracket races.

I look forward to seeing the Hawk family at the races here in Division7. Perhaps you can make it up for the National Time Trials, ot the National Open at Speedworkd.
