Sadly, I think you are correct. Without NHRA to at least minimally enforce the rules, any local association would just turn into glorified bracket racing for cars that look like Stock & SS cars. Pretty much a variation on the nostalgia SS cars.

IMHO
NHRA will sell off Sportsman racing before they just shut it down.
The bean counters have probably already put a price on us Sportsmen class racers. We are a viable commodity and money is the name of the game.

I would go Southeast Gassers Superstock Racing.

I’ve been working on my boat that we have not used in 17 years all because of a cheater with a throttle body with no time off.
The tech folks make it mean something to win class.

We would probably go back to bracket racing, thats where we came from.

If I was 20 years younger,Top Sportsman here I come.

Keep my car and change over to bracket set up, since I guess it will drop 10K in value. There aren't any S/SS organizations around here, but plenty of bracket racing.

Don't think I could pull the trigger. Things aren't the way I remember them, growing up, and I definitely do my share of complaining, but it's still my favorite thing in the world to do.

No quitting!

Take a hiatus for a few years. Not sure if I would sell my stuff or not. Go back to some of my other hobbies I have put down for years. If it called me back maybe I would listen. Hard to say.
