As usual, the "MANAGEMENT" of NHRA got it wrong. With the stroke of a pen, they eliminated a 54 year old tradition at INDY.

For you guys that have only been around long enough for a cup of coffee and a sandwich ALL eliminators used to class winners vs. class winners. You didn't race in the eliminators if you didn't win class, and as far as class goes, the NHRA "MANAGEMENT" wouldn't know what class was even if it hit them in the face.

I hope that NHRA will survive this group of "MANAGEMENT" thugs who don't give a crap about MY SPORT.

Was this brainstorm of the "MANAGEMENT" discussed with our Racer Representatives or are the Racer Reps just another layer to insulate the "MANAGEMENT" from the racers.

Since people only tend to do the things that benefit themselves, you are forced to ask the question "What's in it for the "MANAGEMENT" of NHRA"?????

How will this change benefit the racers??

My racing partner, Rich, said that this was written for the intelligent so I will dumb it down.....



PS for the dummies.............


1.....You build a car by the rules that will go as fast as possible.
2.....Go race heads up (Class Racing).
3.....Tow to INDY to see if you can compete with other cars from all over the country heads up.
4.....Earn your way into the Eliminator by winning heads-up races.
5.....Give the racers who didn't win class a second way in based on ET.
6.....Don't punish a racer for a single in class. Just because people avoided the race.
7.....Don't go to INDY if you can't win class or go fast
8.....Work on your car or change cars and then go back to INDY.
9.....Don't go to INDY if you can't win class or go fast
10....Don't change the sport for your own self interest.
11....There is only ONE INDY PER YEAR.
12....GO FAST, WIN CLASS OR DON"T GO TO INDY.
13....Get it
14....If not then build a Quick 16 car. NO CLASS JUST ET.
