I'm pretty sure just about everyone from A through J Stock has the possibility of running one of the new cars heads up. Jim

So people who spend tens of thousands of dollars and years making their cars fast, without a bogus factor, should just build new ones because a stroke of the pen made them uncompetitive?!?! That's absolutely ridiculous.

Angry Re: Wow !! Sonoma stock !!!

Face it guys......all the complainning in the world on this forum wont do any good. We have been bitching since these abortions came out. The only way to get it fixed is to write letters, call the NHRA AND stay the "F" home for awhile in protest and quit pizzing your money away with those dumb azzed entry fees. Screw the points for awhile. It wont kill you. MONEY runs these decisions OR for those who are close enough just race IHRA (they are seperated from the carb muscle cars) and the local combos until NHRA gets their head out of their azz. Its the ONLY way to get their attention. Money talks and BS walks.

I'd have to agree with Terry on this one. Just stay away from NHRA events for a while. The entry numbers are already down due to the economy and allthe while the cost keeps going up with no real difference in payout. Kinda like going to a gunfight armed with a pocket knife.

Seems like IHRA, combo races, association races, etc. are a better choice for now. JMT.

I haven't been to a National event since 2008 and won't go back to one until something is done about these bogus cars.

It's very easy to be fast when you combo's with phoney rating's. You don't have to do R & D to make your combos fast. You just borrow a engine put it in your car for a big race like Indy then Brag and pat yourself on the back about how good you are like some racer's are doing. Again SHAME ON NHRA for NOT DOING THERE JOB! As has been been said in the past this would not happen when Jack Hart, Farmer, Greg X, Marty B and the old line Divison Tech Dirs were runing the Circus. The real way to fix this would be Class winers only for Elminator on Race Day.
