Well if you have enough money and time on your hands you can do that.A lot of people racing S/SS are finding it difficult to keep up monetarily,time and the fact that our
"leaders" are ruling by the ostrich method(put head in sand,what you don't see/hear doesn't mean squat).Guys have been making suggestions for alternate ways to race in a S/SS format and that's fine.But if it catches on our friends in Glendora can put the brakes on it pronto,by threatening any NHRA sanctioned track by either suing or lifting their sanction if they hosted any races by another race sanctioning body (to include any S/SS
regional organizations.Right now small associations (for example East coast S/SS RA
or ASRA) aren't big enough to pose a problem.But if an SRAC like Jeff tried to organize
then I'm sure they would jump to squash it.They would be a formidable monetary threat.

Well said Ed, which gives me more reason to be glad that SIR in Tucson, Az., chose IHRA, when they had their NHRA sanction lifted by the Glendora group, for the (VERY POPULAR WITH THE FANS), "Nitro Jam" race held this past month...go online to IHRA.com, and you'll see how much the fans are glad for the Norwalk style of drag racing there! Oh and btw, the list for Salt Lake City is growing, so I think the message is being heard far and wide, thus making the future of S/SS look even better, because now we have options out west too!!!
