Ideal Div 1 schedule

[Ed Fernandez]

And we had the thread recently about NHRA's board taking away our voting rights.That
decision is looking better every day.We are our own worse enemies.

Ed and Dave, I see your points! I love racing in the Northeast Division as much as anyone! But I just have not seen the commitment to provide us with the best racing surface and facility lately as I have seen in the past!

I don't know about you, but when I'm out there trying to win, the last thing I want to worry about is track conditions and whether or not my car is going to make it safely from the starting line to the return road! We all pay $170 to enter these races, so shouldn't we be provided with the best product for our money??? I just don't feel that is happening these days.......for whatever reason!

Ask yourself this.........What improvements have you seen done to any of our tracks that actually benefit the racers?

The quality of the ice cream has gone up.
Seriously,it seems like these latest incidents have to be looked at.It needs to be determined if driver error,weather,track prep (including compound problems),track condition and possibly equipment failure and lack of maintenence on our cars are causing these incidents.That goes for starting line issues.This needs to be done by the Div 1 staff and track owners.

I couldn't agree more. Its insane having to worry about traction. It gets dangerous because you have to pull a massive wheelstand just to make sure it hooks. And that's not something you want to do when you're running a high HP car. I would pay double the entry fee if it meant I didn't have to worry about hooking up. I'm not saying that its always the tracks fault, but when you see cars spinning that normally don't spin, you have to ask yourself what's wrong here.

I feel bad not knowing that Kent was our Division 1 guy. I had no idea. That explains why he was the guy walking around the lanes asking people to sign a poll last weekend. Kent, what is the answer to traction problems? And can anything be done with the schedule?
