Rumors from Sonoma.............

[novassdude]

Create motors is not the answer there are plenty of cars out there. Like was said earlier they can't be taking money out of their pockets do the math it makes no sence.

[Jeff Lee]

If $5K is presenting itself as a problem per race well, they've got some serious financial problems!

I'm constantly telling myself it was good planning I parked my car for a total revamp. I do however question my intelligence as to why I'm even throwing more money at the car.

[larrylomascolo]

look at the low car counts in the pro,s they just get a 16 car field in top/fuel and pro stock lately,they are f.n themselves,poorly ran buisness in my eyes,top heavy,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,sportsman is the show and they keep grinding for more money,

One thing to say ... Pro-Stock Truck!

[History will repeat it's self!
Comp will go the way of ProStock Truck & Modified Elminator & Sport Compact
Stock & Super Stock will be a combo if we are lucky.and Evan will have his head stuck in the sand wondering what happened.

You forgot Modified also

Ralph, I am fully aware that Stock and Super Stock could become a combo and Comp could go the route of Modified. However, I wouldn't create a post stating such unless I had real information that it was going to happen. I'm not blind to the fact that it's NHRA's ball and it can do whatever it wants with it. All I'm saying is that I deal in fact. Rumors are crap, and this whole thread is based on such. It's silly to come on here and make a post when the best you can produce for information is hearsay.

What good does it do anyone? None, accept provide fuel for those who hate NHRA and have nothing better to do than bash the very organization that they actually support. I, like most of you, wish things were better. However, unlike most, rather than bitch about it like a child, I've tried quite hard to make a positive impact.

Rumor? Possibly.

But, it's not quite nhra's ball. There is this little 501(c)(6) thing that they have to deal with. Sponging off the American tax payer can have some real consequences.

Evan -- I'm with you brother..........we already race combo events in our Division and are OK with it as you know .

NHRA has painted themselfs into a corner by letting the PRO's to get out of hand. NHRA didn't keep the cost of Pro cars down and now that the usual stepping up process from one class to another is not happening. The common step would be from Alcohol to Fuel isn't happening as well as Comp to P/S. There used to be a food chain going from Stock right up to Top Fuel that has been broken by NHRA allowing multi-million dollar teams to run the show. If any body thinks that it's compitition, it's a "SHOW" in the eye's of NHRA. NHRA could care less about the regular racer. You can see that in the discount for the spectator tickets but nothing set aside for the racers as far as discounts. I hope that NHRA changes in a positive way and that there are car counts go back to where they used to be.
I miss the old NHRA when T/F to Super Street competed at a Division race.

Before everyone freaks out, did you read Charlie's post. RUMOR, with no mention of a source. This is just another case of getting the troops fired up to bash NHRA. Let's hear where this came from and if it is reputable. Otherwise it is crap to me.
