Gentlemen,
As you must already know the new 128 car fastest qualifying rule the topic of much debate on the internet. The biggest problem I and many other racers have is the apparent blackout of information on how this rule came about. It has been asked dozens of times in various threads on ClassRacer.com and not one of you have come forward to speak to the situation. I do not happen to agree with the rule as it violates a 40 year tradition of NHRA Stock and Super Stock tradition. However, where this is a major concern, it is not why I felt compelled to write you. The fact that there appears to be no transparency as to the way this rule even came about is of major concern for many racers.
Gentlemen, You do not belong to a secret society. You were elected by the racers to represent all racers and their wishes. Voting on rules in what appears to be the dark is not the way to do this. No other club, business, or organization operates this way. Notes are taken and information is shared openly with the members. That is the proper way to do it. This is not an unreasonable request. Doing so will, I am sure alleviate many rumors and unneeded angst. I look forward to your response.
Thank you,
Jim Wahl
2239 Stock

I sent this to each of the members. I hope we get answers. Jim
