Now NHRA has decided to severely cut back on the number of sportsman entries at the nationals and pretty much do away with tech for the sportsman categories. All of these actions are for the TV coverage of the pros. The pro classes are almost dead now but the heads cant see that. I really don't see that the path is going in the right direction. I had some hope when Peter Clifford took over but we went from the frying pan to the fire with him. He doesn't have a clue.

Interesting observations Mike, but its easy to see why NHRA has regressed...no board members or bean counters ever raced....they haven't a clue.....
