Some of you know me ,alot don't but I have one of those obscure class cars, it's not the fastest one but it's not the slowest either. I do the best I can with the money and ability that I have. Yes I've made single runs and gotten a trophy and some cash, however I don't believe it's OWED to me it's just money that people were kind enough to offer for winning your particular class period. By looking at Nitro Joes stats there were 8 SS/BX cars at the races this year I did not see a one of them. There seems to one bad dad on top of the small heap,hope he stays out west, but even if we were to meet I'd take my whoopen and go on cause I race for my own personal enjoyment. Hell if the truth were known most racers would still go even if there were NO chance of winning any money. Yeah we all dream of having the best, fastest, nicest this and that but bottom line someone is always gonna 1 up ya so be happy with what you got and go on. Thanks for reading my opinoin. Joe

I never said anything like it was a birthrite to win class. That is something that was though up by others. I was just stating that If you (SS/BX) go to the track the runs SS class you should not have to run ME (SS/GS) to get a class win. I do not believe for one second it's about sponsors. Last year I could make $750 for a class win according to them at Belle Rose I should be able to make $1,500 Right?
I fully believe this change was all about giving away less trophies. nhra seems to be grovelling for cash. Higher insurance fees, no rule book, oil down penalties, and now no single class trophies.
I can guarantee there will be less attendance at these events. I'll even take a bet now they will kiss your ***** with one grade point to get into Indy this year.
So all those who are applauding this enhancement. Wait till the next one comes, if it effects you, I hope you will enjoy it as much as me.
