Dan.....You're the man, it's good to have you around. Don't let me ruffle your feathers.
I did write it down.....You want Pure Stock and Crate Motor cars.....That's the slow cars I was referring to.
I don't know if I need to work on my communication skills or your reading comprehension.....'cause I'm not trying to argue.
I'm trying to make you understand that NHRA has too much on their plate already, trying to keep the "big show"(not Stock & SS) classes in check. Tech Inspectors/Officials are stretched thin trying to maintain control of those classes. It's asking a lot to have Officials knowledgeable in the nuances of these classes and capable of conducting an thorough teardown on a Stocker or Super Stocker.
Your average Top Sportsman/Dragster team brings just as many paying crew to the track as Stock and SS. NHRA doesn't have to tear down these cars, yet gets to profit from the expanded certifications and safety equipment required for these classes. Certainly you recognize that.....We don't have to like it.
I hope you don't think I want Super Stock and Stock to go away, that's not the case. But we need to be aware that pushing for more classes in an already crowded and challenging Eliminator doesn't serve to improve the sanctioning body's viewpoint.
I don't have the answers to the situation, I want to understand why we see seemingly arbitrary decisions taking place.
