NHRA Please Read

Looking at quota's is not an accurate gauge of racer participation. In 1998 there was 11 classes with a total of 428 cars. 2008 there was 473 cars with a total of 12 classes. This year there are 371 cars with 9 classes. Given the classes are less for this year, racer participation is only slightly down. The doom and gloom that some people are saying is simple not true. Yes, things are down, but the sky is not falling in.

Alan, thanks for making my point. Things have not changed since the 70's. Why do racers continue to support NHRA. When I became a member, I did not read the part where I would have a say in how to run NHRA. Expecting or implying that members have the right to tell NHRA how to run there organization is wrong in my opinion. We can express how we feel, and if they do not listen we should find another place to race.

Bo, I understand why members are upset, but people have a choice, and they need to make it if they feel so strongly about how bad NHRA treats them.
