CLASS RACER FORUM - View Single Post - Did we all catch this one? NHRA national event online registration changes for 2008

What a crock of ****!!! I now know Guess that means I'll be locked out of any NHRA national event until 2009. I'm ready to put the stocker up for sale (if it's still worth anything) and go nostalgia racing, as long as the NHRA slimeballs are nowhere to be seen. The NHRA PIG is happy with us as long as we keep feeding it with our hard earned money.

Before I have to hear "how many races have you entered" and "keyboard racer" bull****, here's my response: I have the car...I've run the car...I've spent every spare dime I have on it...I've given NHRA money....and still have nothing to show for it. Those who want to start the "when you start racing as much as me" crap, well....again, here's my answer...you've given the NHRA PIG WAY MORE than me, and you still come up just as short since we will all be in the same boat. That is, not part of NHRA "Pro" events (what is now known as national events).

For the other 95% of you who understand my point, I think we share the same sentiments...the day where I could pit with everyone, enjoy everyone's company, and be part of what I've always thought was the best form of drag racing, was the day I always looked forward to. I always dreamed of having a series of those oval shaped "contestant" stickers on my car. It's a real shame, thanks to a circle of jackasses who make up what NHRA now stands for. What was once my "Field Of Dreams" has now become the Don Schumacher-Tom Compton-John Force wasteland, gradually being whored away chunk by chunk to corporate America.
