2. It is pretty disgusting to read the disrespectful comments to Dan (on this thread and others) based on his choice of race car/class.

Exactly! I also have a combination that was eliminated. I am not asking anybody to make a class for me, but if Dan does more power to him. But some of these guys don'twant him to do that. They would be upset if they had to go slumming and race a car like his. So they are the ones who are like the Democrats with their snobbish, elitist attitudes.
You see my problem with the whole thing is NHRA already has a class to fit his car, I think it falls in K. But that's not what he's asking for he wants rules changed or classes added to accommodate his car like it is. If that makes me snobbish or elitist then so be it.
I do hate what happened to guys with IHRA combos, I really do but if I would have been in that situation I would take my lump and move on like you and not expect someone to change the rules to accommodate me. I can still remember many of the comments as to how IHRA was more racer friendly and the double races were the best thing since sliced bread, takes too much time away from work to run NHRA but now he wants to come play. He can advocate for it all he wants but I can be against it all I want to. Its called America.....
