This is the absolute truth and this is why nothing gets done. I wouldn't be surprised if Graham Light is being totally honest and really is ignorant to what is going on.
Us pulling our cars back to the lanes is a blessing for NHRA, less cars they have to wait for. Pro Stock or Fuel cars doing the same, now that gets ***** done. Separating us from Pros is not the answer, we currently have 0 fans watching us at divisionals and opens. Also, as outrageous as our entry fees are, they still don't need us! Do you know how much Lucas Oil, Mello Yello, PC Richard, and whoever is on the national event bill for the weekend are paying for this? Enough where they still don't need us for financial support. Ticket sales wouldn't suffer for us not being there, just crew passes. Big deal.
I don't watch pros but I go to their pits and talk to them and tell them I race super stock. Had a long talk with Morgan Lucas about it last year at the hotel. I like explaining the class to them, they are the ones that could potentially help us - Imagine the pros standing up for us..
I've emailed ESPN, NHRA, even John Force Racing! Trying to get us better coverage and better acquainted with the average fuel fan but I feel like I am the only one actually trying here. Kyle Ratliff, I do the same thing you do man, that's awesome.. anything to get get people interested in the sportsman categories, keep it up!
