Here's one for you SST guys

[Regan Wilson]

With all this fuss about changes in the super classes I figured I would vent on here about my idea that got squashed...

Two years ago I called Terry Sullivan (SRAC Super class rep) and threw the idea at him about giving SST Division points at National Events . My reason for this was when we run a Sports Nat we get Div points and there is absolutly no reason for us to run a National other than to get a bigger check and a bigger Wally (Oh and help pay the friggin insurance). He told me that was probably the most constructive proposal he had been approached with . He took this to the meeting in Indy and left there with an ok but NHRA still had to approve it . Before I entered the Houston Nats in 09 I called and asked if we were still on with the points thing and was assured by our D4 people we would get them. Well California changed the rules in the middle of the game and turned around and said we wouldnt . Needless to say I raised a little Hell ! I called the guy in Cali and told them what I thought and he really didnt care . I called our girl in competition and withdrew and the other seven guys that run with me did also .

If any of you Super Streeters think this is a good idea call your Division Rep and or the SRAC and push for it ! It couldnt be to much of a chore for them to do this for us .We run our butts off to make all the division races and granted some people may get left out becuase of grade points and I'm sorry for that but thats the way the points system works. I take this stuff seriously and think we should get a fair deal .


OK I feel better now .....Thanks , Regan Wilson
