Thanks Julie for a dose of reality.
The LAST thing you would want is NHRA to be put in the hands of the racers.More math.
+ or - 4,000 S/SS racers(number taken out of the air) -:- by 73,000 + roughly 5% of the membership.I don't know the amount of super category racers,but if they're about another 4,000 then that's still a bit over 10%.So to get what we want,screw the fans and bracket racers.
All this talk about putting who we want in is moot anyway.If they are by a miracle equal to the parting of the Red Sea,removed from their positions,I'm sure they will hand pick their replacements.
Remember the devil you know and the devil you don't know.
