It's been like that since day 1. What's your point?
My post was rebutting several of Greg's points. To which he pretty much ignored. Fair enough I guess. He has opinions that I respectfully disagreed with and gave my reasoning. I even signed my post.
You guys wanna know what the top brass is thinking? Here it is.
The average sportsman Racer wants (fill in the blank) and they'll be happy.
Problem is, they can't figure out what would make them happy. Some want money. Others more tech. Others want to park on concrete. Some want higher quotas.
NHRA knows that just picking one won't really do much. So they just kind of say "screw it" and let the entry numbers do the talking.
You guys really think the NHRA top brass is "clueless"? Think again. They're aware of this site and the comments that are made.
You wanna get their real attention? Don't fill the quotas so dang fast. Don't have 75+ stockers and super stockers at every points race.
Stop claiming "you're done with the NHRA" only to be found 3 weeks later on the Q sheets.
Maybe compliment and thank them. Easier to attract bees with honey.
Be grateful.
Just my 2 cents.
