No problems with the treatment.

We all know the story on payouts. I think this is similar to what happens in everyday life. We all want to better ourselves and make more money. We complain when some hotels or certain gas stations price gouge. Or we get a bad dose of Taco Bell. We still go back. I would love for the eliminator to pay more. So far, that hasnt affected me. I would love for class wins to pay more and the contingency payments be on time. I have about half the money in my stocker that I had in my Outlaw 10.5 car. The plus is, I dont change pistons every time I get home. Usually the stocker is still in one piece, so I feel like I've bettered myself. I could find a thousand things to gripe about, 999 of them wont be acted on. I prefer to spend the race weekend with friends and have a shot at the eliminator. I do this to spend time in the truck with my son and race at the track with my friends.
I do wish NHRA would listen more to the SRAC or send out some simple ballots for some issues before making them "law". If your not going to act on the counsels recommendations, (the racer's only voice at this time), then stop using them for scape goats and dismantle the group.
I know for a fact the tech guys love the S/SS portion of the sport. There is no other reason for sitting in 100 degree midwest heat, listening to us bitch about the(fill in the blank here).

See you guys soon,
