I would like to suggest something that just may get some attention of the Sportsman Class.

You may have already read on NHRA.com that National Dragster wants to do a “Readers Choice” article and they are asking for your ideas. I would love to get them to do something controversial, like the Drag Packs or rehash the Modified demise, but I think we need something we can all side with and that all of us can get behind and be positive about. Many of you can add your own encounters.

I suggest EVERYONE request a story on Chris “Drooze” Wertman; the story of his idea, his banter on here and the fire that took him from us and his family; the story of a father that carried on, and with another driver found the success that he was looking for.

I don’t think there could be a better tribute to an individual’s life that was cut too short. I don’t think there could be a better description of the sportsman spirit.

The deadline for this is February 11. What say you?
