Re: NHRA President - Special Presentation - March 16
I don't think FED 387 likes the super (bracket) or top (bracket) categories. As far as additional sportsman parcipatation I think the goal is limit the fields at National Events which will will require more grade points to enter and force sportsman racers to run one or two more divisionals. With the lower quotas the days of one or two grade points getting you into a National Event will probably be far and few between.
If the super (bracket) and top (bracket) were eliminated from National Events the only super (bracket) and top (bracket) racers that would concentrate on divisional races would be those chasing points and if the quota for stock (special) and super stock (super special) were eliminated most of them would also run less divisional races and NHRA would have less parcipatation not more.
I understand why spectators don't like the super (bracket) classes leaving the starting line and shutting down for two or more seconds and then taking off so I think the super (bracket) cars should run like stock (special) and super stock (super special) and leave the starting line wide open wheel standing (yes we can do wheel stands just like stock (special) and super stock (super special) and run wide open to the thousand foot mark like stock (special) and super stock (super special) and then lift to protect our index. If the super classes (bracket) did this we would be popular with the spectators just like stock (special) and super stock (super special) and we wouldn't need to eliminate any classes from National Events. 😀
