It appears that NHRA has a plan and Stock Eliminator is not part of that plan...

If NHRA had an interest in undoing the damage that they have done with not allowing Stock & Super Stock to race because they are unable to gain entry to National events, they could undo it with the stroke of their pen or keyboard....

NHRA just has to open the entry up to ALL Stock & Super Stock class cars that have at least 1 grade point. The reason for the 1 grade point is get the NEW racers trained in NHRA procedures...

It appears that NHRA only cares about the timing of their TV dog and pony show and Stock & Super Stock are nothing more than a minor inconvenience..

The racers want Stock & Super Stock but NHRA doesn't....

I don't know how to fix this but it appears that the problem is caused by, and can only be fixed by NHRA....

Maybe grass roots will take over and we will re-start after NHRA goes under...
I disagree, we for now are a necessary evil. They need us to pay the bills and until something else comes along they must have us along with the other sportsman classes to find the rest of the circus. No sportsman would end the whole thing and they are not that foolish.
