National Dragster - Page 6

My sponsor was not happy when they noticed that

1. No pictures of the Super Street final (or any other for that matter), where I was runner up.

2. No coverage at all - not even a word or stat - about the 10, 11 and 12 second index classes where my teammates were in two finals and the Div. 2 Director Rich Schaefer has worked so hard to promote.

I didn't have an answer for them as to why their exposure was nil from three finals, vs. three photos that would have been there last year. But I let Rich know at SGMP.

I am so discussed with the dragster that I can hardly express my feelings. I've never commented or complained about all the neglect that has taken place in recent times with NHRA in general and now this. If this is a cost reducer then it sure is confusing to me---we now have a glossy magazine full of pictures, articles about (you name it, I can't)..
The national dragster and NHRA was founded on service to the racer, of which we pay a membership fee, they organize and promote races and publish the results.........well so much for that. To read anything about sportsman racing today we must get on the computer and search it out, well that's fine for those of you that can operate a computer, but for some of us that are hi tech challenged it's not so easy. I did finally get it up on the screen the other day but the print was so small I couldn't read it!!!!!!!!!!
It's probably time for me to quit racing anyway so anyone wishing to purchase a good C/SA '95 Camaro; give me a call. It use to be fun....
