Yeah. I know dave.. Top sportsman instead of stock give me a break..pretty soon you will see Top Dragster on the list and Superstock will be staying home.

Jim & John,

Sorry, I didn't get your dig, I thought you were really hearing it for the first time or had missed the memo... Its only the beginning , because racers were losing interest before the last round of increases... How about increasing the Payouts...??

Guess you guys didn't see my post in another thread......... in my opinion, NHRA is now moving towards NO Stock, S/S, or Comp at National Events....... S/ST will probably stay home too........ T/S, T/D, S/C, and S/G will be the fillers for T/F down to TA/D........ and if they can get the turn around times right, S/C and S/G will probably sit also...... the fans don't really like throttle stop racing anyway.......

Did we ever get a clear explanation of why a Sportsman class has to sit out of a National Event???....... or are they just getting us used to it???........ and don't even try to give me the pit space thing either.......

I think they have been running the Top Sportsman at Atlanta about 2 or 3 years now.
