Chris,

You need to encourage racers to attend, not discourage them. The racers that only run as you say 1 or 2 association racers per year are the backbone of this sport,they are equally as much racers as are those that go to 30 races a year. Both types are living within their means and desires.

As far as your comment on you only being a crate motor racer, I sure doesn't matter to me, it's a stocker and that is great, in all the associations I have heard of, ihra and nhra cars are both welcome.

The racers that only go to some ,none or an occasional nhra/ihra race make up a large part of the field at our ASRA races. We get 60 cars regularly and had one race with over 70 this year and other years. We have heads up races, and I can honestly say that in the many years that I have been involved, never have we had a protest, or complaint about legal issues. I suggest you work toward promoting these type of races and spend less time trying to find things that could go wrong.

Michael and Mike , I am with you on this, it just is not and issue, if it ever is, I know that Dave will deal with it at the ecsss races and so will we up here at the ASRA races.

Running the ecsss vs asra is a topic that comes up regularly, Dave will tell you , the schedule is the biggest issue and it is a big one. We could have one heck of a time doing it, but man ,it just ain't easy. Dave has talked about it with our board members more than once.
