No TV time, No big press, nothing. The fan base is alot smaller and there hasnt been any mention of what the purse would actually be. Talk to Rich and ask him the chance of a show with even 12.5 cars or slower and watch him laugh. He will be the first to tell you that doesn't excite the crowd enough. It is all about the dollar to Speed and Rich just like to NHRA. Of course Rich says put on your Sundays Best and we might get a show but in reality that is a very slim chance. Especially if you run slower cars. Has anyone thought to ask why some of the tracks have dropped the PINK ALL OUT show from their format? Why don't you ask Pat down at No Problem. Maybe he can give some insight. People say this will bring more calss racers to our side however, If you have the chance to build a car that runs 10.0 with nitrous for 4K or a stocker that runs 10.0 for 50K which one will you choose? C'mon man. All this will do is say to the HRA's that our class wants to compete in heads up no rules racing so why keep them around. You are hurting the class instead of helping it. Somebody also said that seeing their car for 1/10 of a second on TV is worth it. Worth what? I would rather have a chance at 10K with no TV than spend entry and expenses to say hey if you dont blink you can see my car on tv and then explain that my car wasnt good enough to get picked to race for the money while some other guys junk was.

Of course all of your points are valid Floyd.--I can answer by saying this again--
"So sometimes I find myself getting just a little too Elite'st or comfortable with it all,and P.O.A. is just about the right medicine.Just like a good ol Friday night test and tune"
I also know that you guys have spent a lot more time and money on your legal class cars than I have on my bracket car.And YOU SHOULD ALL HAVE A BIG STAGE PROVIDED BY NHRA.Its ashamed that hasnt happened.
I know you didnt spend that time and money on a legal class car to participate in a baldheaded jerk-off session----But its fun and its different.And you would be fired up to do it when you first started racing before you knew how to race.---And there is the T.V. thing!
