If an advocate could be found - what would you say?

Thanks Bruce for your effort trying to get NHRA to get the rocks out of their high paid noggins. I bailed out in 2010 mostly because I didn't like the direction NHRA was going. I think I still had it in me to do some damage on the track.They really took the wind out of my sails. It's probably to late for me to return, both financially and physically ( I'll be 74 in April) but maybe our type of racing can be at least can be prolonged a bit more down the road. Again thanks for your effort trying to keep S/SS a viable outlet.
I really miss the guys and ladies I had the privilege to race against and just hang out with.

I received an E-mail response form Dave Mohn, concerning qualifying off of the index in S/SS and Comp.:

Hi Mike,
Sorry for the delay in response to your request below.

Several years ago, your suggestion was utilized in a few Divisions at the Lucas oil Drag Racing Series Events. The practice was discontinued due to a number of factors such as racers changing classes from race to race, and tech cards not being input into the system prior to the racer going down the track, different timing systems utilized at different venues, to name a few.

We will discuss internally over the upcoming season and look into the feasibility of your suggestion.

Thanks again and we look forward to seeing you soon!
