Can anyone out there shed any more light on this? How close did this come to being a reality? Do you think that we (the NHRA Sportsmen) would have been any better or worse off had this come about?
I'm just asking questions here.

Looks to me like like the splitting has already started, no tech,no tear down to speak of, lower quotas such as in 45 posted and then revised to 60 for now. Sportsmen is truly a not-for-profit already at 60. That Compton was a true visionary years ago.
