S/SS alternatives

Ed Fernandez · 03-24-2011, 12:47 AM

There's a lot of talk on here about NHRA dumping us from nationals,or all together.Some
want S/SS associations to expand.That's all well and fine.Now that Pat Joffrion has left
No Problem for a consultants role (Good luck in his endeavor) the question is,where will all the association races be held?I don't believe for a minute that if these races get too
big and successful (ala Alex's Class Nationals) that NHRA would want a piece of the pie at their sanctioned tracks.
The ideal scenario would be a completely new organization,sportsman orientated to spring up.The fly in the ointment is that NHRA would probably threaten their sanctioned tracks with lawsuits.
Sadly IHRA doesn't have enough tracks to support an undertaking this grand.And I'm sure that the Circus King would want to stick his fingers in the pie.IHRA really hasn't had much leadership under the Feld banner.
Any thoughts,without turning this into a free for all?
