Here's the REAL deal for 2008

Mike Mayhew · 09-21-2007, 10:22 PM

It's that time of year again. Time for another round of enhancements. My prediction is these will seem insignficatly small compared to what happens after the NHRA Pro/Sportsman split. Remember that ?
My guess, the other foot will be dropping soon. I haven't heard what the new entry fee's will be ?
Payout ? Grade points ? There IS a plan for us....I bet. If it were a happy plan, we'd be hearing some of those " what to expect " thoughts.

OK, check out the pic. Look close. The more you look, the more you'll see.

there is a plan for us...

my opinion

select few at any HDTV national events, pre teched

large proliferation of ENHANCED sportsnationals (7-14 events)
>enhanced entry fees
>no manufacturers
>less / no contingency (no spectators)
>poor payouts
>more fines & fees

continued combining of classes ... stock into superstock
huge addition of pro fwd rice burners
addition of ET bracket classes at sportsman events

when the spectators were sold we were the losers

jack mccarthy

oh i forgot 1st and eventually second round BUYBACKS

Sooner or later Walley will have get out from behind the curtain and say..What the f*ck happened to my baby? Or it may come down to say..ummm mayme sportsmen racers using three men sling shots loaded with slick fifty ballons to enhance the track at national events before the pros go off.
