It will be very interesting to look back at this situation in 10yrs?
To see the state of NHRA that point. Seems like racers are not simply going to be sheep anymore, following what the sanctioning body says with no questions. Will sportsman racing still exist today as we know it? More people will speak up now that Mr Barton has set a trend, hopefully. I can't speculate on NHRA's agenda, but it don't look good, for there future or that of the sportsmen racer. Sorry for the negativity but that's where I see this going. |

I've said many times nhra dosn't give a crap about stock &super stock. we are just fill a fill in like everybody knows. the problem is they will let more super gas, super comp, pro-mod, top dragster, top sportsman in & would probably bring in all nostalga cars. they dont care about us. they think we complain to much. they dont even care about pro-stock (the best class they have) they were only spraying & dragging to 1000 ft. i myself haven't raced in two years (been jr. racing with Michael my son) but ive heard all the complaints. the 70s ,80s & 90s were the best of times nhra seemed to care. free t- shirts & products without nhras permission. sorry to see not always fun like it used to be.

ANother day another complaint about NHRA. Being tossed for a degree on an intake lobe in stock. Cutting side walls of slicks that grew between runs. Throwing out all old cars from Stock. Doing away with Modified eliminator. Bogus spec motors being allowed to keep from a suit over mis interpretation. Doing away with Pro Stock Trucks. Making time trials directly after Jet cars at points meets running on the diesel fuel for 3 to four pairs without re runs. Sadly many forget there will always be another disappointment. Another break down in the rules or enforcement. It is a business with employees who bend with the minute or day due to fatigue of pressure from "upstairs".
Good Luck to David Barton.... Glad you at least didnt crash it again.. Want to race again? You may need to do what is asked by NHRA, and accept another disapponting condition we cannot hope to correct every time. I miss the racing, I do not miss the adgitation. |
