I'm with both you and Dennis on this one Conway. Wow cut in half the issues we get to read, reduce the coverage us sportsman racers used to get, yet double the licensing and competition number costs, lower our indexes, and reduce our altitude correction factors to levels fair only for cars that use throttle stops and delay boxes for their et's!!!
No wonder I was hopeful that the Norwalk, Oh. group expanded their sportsman offerings out west here. Now that the Drag Review group has new owners of their HRA, I hope the southwest will be given another try, but with more emphasis on us class racers! Monopolies don't drive down costs, competition does! It's high time the Glendora, Ca. group gets some competition for our racing dollars...especially since we're the ones who primarily pay their bills!!!
