I didn't see anything worded like THAT in the poll.

That is the flip side of
"WTF Let's concentrate on the REAL problems;" implying very strongly, that this existing situation is NOT a REAL PROBLEM.


It's a HUGE problem, mainly, because it's so unnecessary.

My Jouralism professor in college spent a whole week on semantics, and how they skew the outcome of so-called "POLLS." Your poll is a texbook case in "leading the respondent."


What does my Bracket car have to do with this, anyway? They won't fix the problem at the local track until it gets fixed in NHRA racing.

If you don't want non Class-Racer folks responding (voting) on your poll. post it on the board that is for Class Racers only. This board is for everyone.... remember?
maybe its finally sinking in. To most class racers, there are MUCH bigger issues. And as I have said many times over stock and ss are not the test bed for this new rule. If it is going to be don, how about trying it in the NHRA Summit Bracket series, you know, where BRACKET racers race. If it were successful there, then it could migrate over. you are not talking about a "stock/ss"issue" you're talking about an issue for all of bracket racing. since you think everyone should be for this, why don't you start a grass roots movement among your peers (read: bracket racers) and see if you can get it changed over there. But please, for the love of God, let us class racers deal with issues that actually have to do with our classes and are important to us.
