Yes, Thanks I did.
I know many people have not had the time to submit the ideas they support but part of my selling my cars and limiting my personal racing has been to work towards getting some of the issues presented here in writing for NHRA committees to discuss and raising all the prize money I have been able to give out to the racers in TOP/SS and TOP/STK.
50$ entry at TOP/SS level has paid over $2000 to run 3 rounds. Pretty good money and a LOT of fun. R/U got $1000 or more. First round winners at least won entry and usually $100.
Remember that everyone has a way they like to race, Heads up class, or dial in. Both should continue to be a part of the program so everyone can have their way to race.
It seems an effort to stand up for Heads up S and SS racing has to be put forward or without input to the committees they will "assume" Sportsman Heads up Class racing isnt important to anyone including the racers. There has been comment to that effect from some people regarding spectator interest in S and SS racing. In my opinion Recreate the Class racing day excitement of Many full classes with 6 or 8 cars and the Spectators will return (if advertised)
