IF the fine and apology aren't reversed before the national event at Maple Grove, THIS^^^^ is what needs to happen but we all know will not because racers don't stick together, are afraid of repercusion from the NHRA and THIS is why you are treated like the filler you are at National events.

You guys need to stand with David and make your voice heard by hurting their bottomline!!!!!

David sorry about you being fined thanks for speaking up.Now lets be real.NHRA dosent care about how many people boycott an event,there gonna run the class weather they have 80 cars 0r 10.Ed about being sheep this is the arena we race ..The track is the same for everyone fair or not..Most of the BOYCOTTERS don't have adog in the fight..
We aren't sheep we are Class racers....Jump in the water is warm..

James, IF EVERY stock and super stock racer boycotted 1 event, you will get their attention. Doing NOTHING other than complaining on an internet website will result in NOTHING will ever change! That said, you know I have the $ and the knowledge to jump in tomorrow. ANYBODY with the coin can build/buy a 1 under combo in the year 2013. However, I refuse to be treated like sh...t, I refuse to park my rig in a field 1/2 mile away in the mud. I refuse to accept the junk track they say is perfect, I refuse to be filler for their schedule, I refuse to be ready at their whim, I refuse to put my car on a track that is either not prepped or too cold, I refuse to beg contingency sponsors for $. I am the customer and my money is green and good everywhere. I'll continue bracket racing weekly at the best track in Division 1 where track prep is NEVER an issue regardless of how hot or how many cars and I'll continue to race for bigger/better payouts and wally's as well.

Jared and 1320 that sounds like a good idea, it has been tried before in a similar fashion , i was at indy when the modified eliminator racers paraded down the return road in protest but it didnt save modified and it won't do anything now, as far as Barton having to appologize to the starter,wtf??? is the starter a thin skinned philosophy student???can you imagine Buster having this go on?? you would have got one of his famous boots up your behind , whether you were right or wrong, respect gets respect
