Yeah, that was
Norwalk. There were a couple of other races in Div. 3 and Div. 9 that did well for a few years. Other areas, not nearly so much. But I do agree that they made some decisions that moved them in the wrong direction.

If you want to make a legend of yourself (or at least get a reputation), you need to win in the NHRA. I think this is a prevalent, underlying factor to many racers... even though nobody will admit it. It's tougher to get that reputation in the IHRA.

True, but only because of perception creating that reality. Anthony Bertozzi, Mark Nowicki, Pete D'agnolo, Jimmy Hidalgo, Brent Darroch, Scotty Stillings, Monty Bogan... and the list goes on. It doesn't matter what flag is hanging at the gate. Guys like these are always a threat to win.
Let's turn this around and make something positive out of this thread: what can they do to rebuild?
