Bruce, I feel bad that you had a medical issue arise, by your number I can tell you are from D1, I used to race in D1. No problem getting to D1 races and I think you have 2 or 3 National events with in a 200 mile radius. But down here there are no NHRA tracks within 200 miles, I played their games with getting a grade point to race at the Gator's, it was a hardship for me to even get to the Orlando D2 race.
If NHRA kept everyone's entry money who withdrew and closed the event, fine. But everone who withdraws gets their money towards another national event and the racers who only have one shot at a national event which is the 2nd closest race, 300 miles, gets locked out.
The people who are in charge are not racers, never even owned a race cars, what are they doing in the NHRA? I'm here with my $250 wanting to enter, they wouldn't take it because of a policy that was probably procured before the recession and now is a business error. 8 withdrawalls equals $2000 in entry fees that NHRA lost. Who need's a degree to figure that out?
I'm no school kid, just a racer wanting to race!!
