Just what I said but posted it wrong to many. I really think that IHRA could give you guys free entry and a race in your back yard and you STILL wouldnt come. I know some were ready to race and would love to get out of the snow and ice but noooooooooo........Watch and see....the NHRA Gainesville race will be over run with guys wanting to take it up the shorts. I have NO sympathy for any of you. You get what you deserve from NHRA.
What I found was even my old friend Bob Marshal with "Dodge Material" SS/BA made the trip from the snowed in area of Ohio and was enjoying the sun and warmth of Florida with his wonderful wife. A double points race next weekend on top of it within a couple hours drive. Look in a mirror and ask yourself.....Where was I this past weekend? The stock and S/S racers on here are like trying to herd cats in a round up and its been this way for years when IHRA could and DID pay excellant money for class and the eliminator before the fuel prices went up. You guys complain about a few hundred dollars of class money but what do you do to support the very life blood of a racing association ? If time and money is so tight for your program that you can only run the NHRA events then have at it. I spent years trying to get guys to race IHRA in areas that are over run with class cars but no one showed up. Stock its self was on the way out years ago in IHRA but I managed to save it with increased car counts by coming up with what you all seem to hate.....The crate motored classes. A hand full of cars for those who could buid what they liked and could afford to go class racing with the same rules and FACTORY engine specs enforced as the rest of you play with and look at what NHRA has done to you with the DP's and new Mustangs. I doubt the class legal cars will survive in the coming few years. The hand writing is on the wall if you just open your eyes and look at whats going on. Im done here with this. There is just no making you people happy. I hope it works out on the west coast for those like Gary and his Z-24 FWD car who want to see some change but dont get your hopes up. As they say money talks and BS walks. Its just not in the class racers nature to support anything other than NHRA. Most racers from anywhere except North Carolina just look down their noses at IHRA as a red headed step child. I have seen this keep happening over and over for years and years without fail.
