NHRA Does not care about sportsman racing. They kiss the rich rears with the factory race cars. i raced stock because it was an inovators class. Remember sedan delivery,s with car motors, 270 hp 283's with truck transmissions, 4 speed hydro's. Any one can now race stock for $125,000. with no knowledge. A budget racer can in stock and do well, Just look at Dell & Derick Elam,s Pinto Wagon W/SA. Ilike to see them race & win against the factory stock 150 mph cars. Remember the nitro fans want to see blow ups, crashes,& bimbos. When the sportsman race they hit the nitro Mall, beer stands & whach them rebuild the engines after each pass. Only the smart ones know the sportsman pits is the best car show .
