Wade,

Come race with us before you try to change things ? Forget Nationals, they will be a thing of the past in a couple of years ... As Mark or Ed said , there are very few tear downs @ Div. & opens.
As Ed said, thats why you have bracket racing, no-rules, race any car, motor, buttons, slicks, etc... Has anyone ask why wondered why Stk &
S/S racers keep coming back , inspite of all the complaints ?

Wade, please don't take it personal, but everyone keeps trying to change things to their own agenda ...

As I said before this is going to be a tough year for racing, unless you have a big sponsor ? Racer's , have been upset with NHRA & IHRA before the lose of Jobs, now with gas prices going to 4-5 dollars a gallon for tow rigs... ($10-18 for race gas) not counting entry fees, hotels, food, etc ... Not doom & Gloom, just real facts that effect how racers will have to balance their schedule ... This is what is driving the low numbers @ Nationals not tear-downs.
One last thing about teardowns , we all know of racers who have never been torn down in 10-15 years ? Other racers get torndown 4-5 times a year, how does everyone gets torndown at least once a year sound ? ... That way everyone get to share the Fun !!! To be continued ...........................
Wade, how's the Vette coming ?
