Opportunity for NHRA

Many years ago, I was at the Allstars at BG.
Alan Peters comes walking up and says.. Hey Mark , we're having a meeting with (Div 1 director) Greg X. We want you to join us because you know all the details, etc...In other words. I was FOS.
So we met with Greg about some relatively minor issues, such as the points structure, etc.
He listened and dialogued with us. I don't even know what became of the proposals.

The point is, ,,you're not going to demand anything!
What, like you should lower the entries? The suits should take a big pay cut?
128 car fields that take only 1-2 GPs?.
Get a grip and forget about it.
A few racers could get on the same page first, and then approach the DD for a meeting.
Matt (Div 7) is a good guy...but that's about as good as it gets.
