Srac

Man, I hate to hear this. It is a real set back for sportsman's hopes. Just proves that those in the ivory towers don't give a crap about the backbone of the sport/hobby. Making us think we had some imput, they were just giving us lip service.

NHRA is just a big production company now, not a racer's association, with concerns only about TV rights, series sponsors, and BS shows to entertain the spectators.

I see the direction class racing is heading is toward regional ,non-association sanctioned, series where the racers are the show. Not just the fillers for, between the rounds, of the show.

Problems I see with that are; rules enforcement and when cars of the same class run off a dial-in rather than heads-up. That defeats the whole purpose of class racing.

So, where does that leave us?
