I appreciate your and everyone else's passion and involvement with Class racing. I myself hate to see it come to an end as I have known it for 50 years. There have been changes both good and bad and in most cases I believe it made the sport better and stronger.

However, with the latest issue at hand, I believe that its just about over for the older car combos, especially the AA-H Classes. With the new Factory involvement (which I think is a positive move) it has become foolish to think that an older combo has any chance in a heads up/class run. Maybe this is what NHRA wants, all things do change, so maybe this is it.

I just find it hard to believe that with the way NHRA rules and the Factory cars dominate, that it will be possible to ever get a fair shake in the future.

I know that there are people who are writing, emailing and calling NHRA with the concerns of most Class racers, but it is a very small percentage. I appreciate you effort. Most of us just sit and do nothing, thinking its a waste of time and "Oh, somebody else is already contacting them". So in the end we get what we deserve.

I hope thats it not too late for NHRA to make the playing field level or at least not so one sided. I am 66 and I still enjoy most of everything associated with Class Racing. Merry Christmas to everybody
