Positive things happening.

Self policing instead of tear down is probably just as good as some of the stuff I have seen NHRA let go thru tech in the last 25 years or so since the "enhanced heads and intakes" came on the sene......LOL. So whats the big deal? At least it better tan sitting home watching Obama re runs on the news ! You dont have to tow as far, pre enter months in advance, and I really think that 99% of the "GOOD" class racers would rather cut off their right arm than intentionally cheat. The old guys can tell if something is "Fishy" without even breaking a head bolt. You dont have very many heads up runs even at the Indy Nationals so lets race, have fun, and get off the couch. SUPPORT YOU LOCAL STOCK and S/S circuit. Records and a dime wont even buy a cup of coffee so why bother other than to stroke your ego? I doubt you will ever get NHRA pay more for a win and class is almost history with all of the different classes. Way to many seperate classes and yes that includes IHRA also. OK....Just my 3 1/2 cents.

That's not true at the ASRA combos at LVD and NED!

You guys will be glad there are no heads up runs when enough of the new Mustangs and DP's start showing up in all the various classes they can run in.

Good point but most of us here in Division One can be at almost all of our Lucas Oil races in 2-3 hours ........And we still support our local Stock / SuperStock Association thanks to the efforts of Dave and Gloria Ley .

Jack you guys are lucky. For me Ennis is over 4 1/2, Houston is close to 7, Memphis is 6+, No Problem is 12. Other than Tulsa, Noble is a little over 2. It would be nice to have them all that close. Lots of fast cars "out your way" too.

Ed - I feel your pain ......but for me here in D1 it goes like this - Maple Grove 1 1/2 hr. , Englishtown - 2 1/4 hrs , Atco 2 1/2 hrs , Cecil County 2 1/2 hrs , the worst one is also the newest back on the D1 trail - New England Dragway about 7 hrs if my memory is correct and is the only one my wife volunteered to go along so she can fill up on ceeefoode and loobsteers as they say up there ...............

PS - Hopefully they won't put Toronto Raceway Park ( Cayuga ) back on the schedule as its a killer ride .
