"WHAT IF" part 4

[art leong]

I get it.
Like I said just don't offer contingency to "ANYONE" that doesn't have another car in their class.
Sounds simple to me.
Or are you "WORRIED" about offending some of your "PALS".
This "BS" about FWD has gone on long enough they have had classes for them for over 25 years, like it or not they are "HERE TO STAY"
Everyone on here has been saying the reason the companies don't want to get involved is the "VIG" nhra charges not the numbers of classes.
Maybe you should get Tim Gietner to be in chanrge of your "new association"

Also I've just about heard enough about "their is more fun in it when their are more cars in the class"
I believe the only ones having fun are the ones having "FUN" are those that are winning or capable of winng the class. The others are just there for the bracket race.
In todays "mentality" if you had less classes "the few" would spend more money and dominate them anyway.
Or do you still live in the utopian world where hard work and sweat can "trump" money.
If you do take a look at the pro classes and see how many of them started as sportsman racers!!!!!!

This just about says it all. With everyone seemenly having thier own agendas they seldom see the forest for the trees. With some people wanting a class for every different "color" of car I wonder why I ever thought of trying to having an organization to pull sprotsman racers together to race for some decent money. If its bracket racing you want then stay the hell home and race your local tracks with your high dollar toys. I really couldnt care less. Chuck Norton says it best with this article and brings home the truth. You are your own worst enemy.

Chuck is absolutely right, but I thought the deal was to make our own association. I don't believe it was stated anywhere that we were out to hurt the HRS's only find a niche of our own.

This could still be done while running in the HRA's by having our own races BUT I do believe that if Bud will pull out how long will it be before other sponsors follow suit and how long will it be before contingency money can't be afforded anymore.

I believe we are going to see big cutbacks coming to our sport and the classes that are going to suffer are going to be the ones that the fans don't care about watching.......how many people are in the stands when you race!
