Now all the news from SEMA. New carmaro looks great MPR did a great job like always.
New Stk rule changes on the table for 2012
64 car fields for ss and stk at all nationals but Indy.
For stock only 1980 and newer cars only.
All you cry babys are going to get your want NHRA no longer needs you old cars to fill there fields. Sorry Greg and Andrew no NHRA for you guys next year. Well you can always run SS.
And last three new stk classes all 10.5 tire.
New cars are here to stay. Are you?

NOPE ! Never planned to be an NHRA member ever again. 10 years ago NHRA was fun also. Who cares about the Pro show in either association except for the clueless spectators who just want to watch crashes anyway. All the so called Pros do is keep the track from rusting from all the explosions. NHRA had my money for over 30 years. No more. Nostalgia shows and circuit races along with some IHRA are more fun for me. Thats more than enough running up and down the roads at todays fuel prices. If what you wrote means "1980 and newer cars in stock only" for 2012 is true then I wont be alone either. NHRA will just shoot themselves in their foot with that deal. Who will NHRA get to pay for the extra insurance for them to run the Fuel Cars???? NHRA always was behind the times with some tech stuff for stock and S/S.. Roller rockers and 10.5 tires have been on the books for a very long time in IHRA.
And to think....I used to think NHRA was the only deal in town....Until I woke up.
