I'm sorry to see so many people down about Stock Eliminator. The car
counts at points meets range from good to really good to great depending
on the division. We are a financial asset to NHRA. The biggest problem
appears to be entering a National Event in our own neighborhood or
division. I would suggest our reps work on this PERIOD. We know the
rules, let's quit trying to change them for the better or self serving
reasons. The parking plans have allotment at every National Event for
24 T/F, F/C & P/S teams. They are getting 16 on a good day. That is
24 large spots available. The Alcohol classes get 20 x 2 reserved, at Houston they have 28 actual. 12 more medium spots available. Our S/S
brothers have 17 spots left. S/C has 8 left over, S/G 18 & Super Street
has 3. Top Sportsman has 14 Top Dragster 4 and T/F Harley 11.
That's 111 spots plus revenue for NHRA. At 30 days prior to closing of entry's, start allotting low entry classes spots to high entry classes. Do it again 2 weeks out. Gives Stock a chance to race closer to home. Sort
this out with NHRA now, the reps should not worry about anything else for the time being. If NHRA is not receptive, then we will know we are not wanted, we can then shut up, move on golf, race lawnmowers, or
whatever else we can find that is more fun. My opinion, your mileage
may vary. J.R. Haddad.
