Re: Lets talk NHRA Stk/SS with Lonnie Grim - Ideas - Comment
One thing that I would like to see is the "Movement" of quotas. We are told the quotas are for TV times & considerations, then NHRA has timed how
many cars they can run etc. and still be on time for their live broadcasts.
Case in point, the New England Nationals. Stock has been full for a while,
and a lot of people have done a lot of work to try to get in. Meanwhile, S/S
is at 31 (minus 29), Super Comp is at 42 (minus 18) Super Gas is at 15!!
(minus 45), Super Street is at 32, (minus 13), and Top Sportsman is at 10,
(minus 26) for a total of 131 Minus Entry's!! Now, can we not take 5 entry's
from each class, or 5x5 =25, and reallot those to Stock? I don't care what kind of accounting you use, more entry's means more money, more money is better than less money( I took a college course and they told me that).
You would now have more money, happier racers saying nicer things about their racing experience, who knows, with a happier group saying nicer things, it might inspire someone to build a car!! And to keep the costs down for our non-profit sanctioning body, I will manage it for free for one year, after that I get 10% of any additional funds I am able to bring in.
