First off, we're going on hearsay that something actually happened, AND that whatever happened is final and binding. We don't know anything, and nothing has been announced.
Second, I think if you look on the NHRA site, you'll find NHRA not only announced the members, but also posted their email addresses, or some other method of contact. I'll go look and see if I can find it, and post it here.
I found it, posted plainly on the Lucas Oil section of the NHRA site:

Third, it is YOUR job to tell them what you want, it is not their job to contact you as an individual and ask you. Even your paid GOVERNMENT representatives that make thousands of dollars don't do that.
Fourth, several of those elected have posted here, and not only stated their opinion, but asked for yours. They have participated in threads you posted about your concerns.
Fifth, everyone has their own definition of "due diligence". I doubt anyone could satisfy some people's definition of "due diligence".
Sixth, this is a relatively new and untested concept, it will take some refining, and some work, both by the council members and especially by the racers. If you don't work at it, you can't expect others to make up the difference. Start calling it a failure right now, and see if NHRA doesn't either abolish it, or ignore it, and it'll be right back to some nameless faceless entity making decisions for you, and they'll be doing it without any input, and without any responsibility to you.
Seventh, if you're assuming that every decision is going to go your way simply because a group of racers makes it, you're going to be sadly disappointed.
Eighth, finally, I don't think you really WANT people who have nothing to do but post polls and try to find you personally to ask you what you want, because they don't exist, and because even if they did, I doubt anyone like that would see things the way the average racer would any way.
In any event, now I posted links to the announcements and the lists of
your SRAC members and their contact information, so if you have issues or concerns and you don't contact them, it is
your fault they don't know what you think, want, or don't want. Take the time to let them know how you feel, they'll listen, if you give them a chance.
