We dont all want a higher salary for our work and benefits. More money to win yes!
The common desires of the vast numbers of racers would be tough to negotiate under one "Flag".
Who would be allowed to make decisions BEST for the vast numbers of racers? When someone can no longer race a turbo 3 cylinder Aveo in stock with no boost rules will the Lawyer card be played to topple the whole idea of doing whats BEST for the sport?( Tried to be non- biased using non existent car)
Within our common sport, desire for advantage of rules and level playing field (when it affects others) and limited cost winners are issues of verbal concern.When would the Democracy of Stock and SS be allowed to be governed down to a managable,profitable , attractive package, for National meets. All racers are equally important but in every current form? At the expense of the whole?

There you go again Dick knocking the oddball combos
Well quess what in 1974 I ran a very oddball combo (a street hemi) everybody knew (even Chrysler) it could never be competitive because you had to run street tires and you could never get it to hook with the tires available at the time. To bad they didn't ban the darn things then? What seems odd to you now might be common place in the future.
If in your book whats best for the sport is telling someone their car can no longer be raced. PLEASE go have a discussion with some of the Pro Stock truck racres and tell them you thought it was okay to obsolete their cars (trucks).
I don't need anyone to represent me I can do it myself.
