As it stands now, with the quotas, lots of us are basically "back in the streets" again being unable to enter our local National Events.
I agree that every member having a vote would get rather crazy (which is the way it used to be) but that could be thinned out by requiring a current permanent number as the "voter registration".
As I had said earlier, at the very least our SRAC members should have a vote.
And Julie, thank you again for responding.
But it's not just about the sportsman racers who want to enter national events. There are NHRA member-sanctioned tracks where racers can race in a safe environment. They have youth safety/education programs, junior dragster series, etc. Just because we have been impacted doesn't mean that NHRA isn't operating under the conditions necessary to keep their tax-exempt status.
