If you HAVEN'T seen a derogatory comment directed towards the representatives, you haven't been reading the threads. Woodro Josey and Jeff Teuton were called out BY NAME on this board, and that is ONE example. There have been multiple derogatory comments directed towards the entire committee.

Unless you are a member of the committee, or privy to the rules that apply to the committee, you do not even know if anyone records the minutes, or, more importantly, if NHRA even allows them to be published, if they are recorded.

From what Jim Waldo wrote, the committee voted to no longer allow people who single for a class win to get a pass into the final eliminations. It should be obvious to anyone paying attention at that point that NHRA made the other change, that is not allowing ANY class winners who did not qualify by ET into the final eliminator.

IF you've been listening, and asking the right people, you've heard by now that this latest rule was only PART of what was proposed and voted on. I've been told by multiple sources that there was also a proposal to lower the indexes 2 tenths. As to the class win rule, well, that is quoted in another post, and above in this post.

It's called an ADVISORY committee. Meaning these people advise NHRA, and NOT that NHRA does what the committee tells them.

By the way, so far there are two polls, and I have voted in neither, and both show that by at least some margin, at least a slim majority would prefer that the 128 fastest cars qualify. Of course, these are not scientific polls, and only reflect the opinions of a few who come to these forums and vote.

I'm not a fan of the 0.90 Super classes. However, if you are so deluded as to think that NHRA is going to kick them out, and let more Stock and Super Stock racers in, you are just that, deluded. They require only a cursory safety tech, and a heads up Pro tree. They are 20% the trouble we class racers are. I used to crew multiple cars in the 0.90 Super classes, I never cared much for them then, and do not now, although I have some VERY good friends who race those very classes. But I sure do find it amusing that people who say no one has the right to tell THEM they shouldn't have a place to race are very quick to tell someone else the exact same thing.
