For a lot of us it’s a dream but they know this and I feel like they take advantage of us, such examples: limited car counts, limited class racing, entry fees higher for certain races and schedules that cater to pros instead of caring about the sportsman and they way we feel. My idea is, we have 4 reps, 2 from Super Stock and 2 from Stock We send a letter of concerns to NHRA that we would like to see changed. If they don’t negotiate or make changes, then we need to stand together and not support their program. The only way they will change is, us as a group stand together. Individuals calling NHRA or division directors with their concerns is not working. The 4 reps appointed can talk and negotiate changes with NHRA. I want NHRA to be successful and survive. But at this rate they are killing sportsman class racing. I am willing to be a rep for Super Stock and I’ve had many volunteers to be reps. Many people out there have the passion as I do for class racing and feel like you guys understand where I’m coming from. I feel like we are getting no where with individuals reaching out to NHRA. We need to stand together and show NHRA we will support them if they will support us! Please respond with your in put!

For you sir, who I do not know I offer this prayer,

God grant me the serenity
To accept the things I cannot change,
Courage to change the things I can,
And wisdom to know the difference.

If you want change ,STOP GOING ITS SIMPLE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Find other races and associations there are plenty.

It can change, you just have to really want to change it.

If no one shows up ,they'll have to seriously do something or they will fold!


Or pay $195 a time run, getting treated like crap, and just complain and talk about it for the rest of your life!

They will not Fold!


They will simple replace you with some different classes.


They may even be saying to them selves it took longer than it sure have to get those whiners out of here.


Remember to NHRA you are just filler at Nation events. The place you do have some power is divisional races.The question is can you use that to get some changes at National events.

Whiners lol?? I actually did something about it!

What car do you race STANLEY???

[Stan Weiss]

It has been a while since my last passes down the 1/4 mile.


But yes it was with EFI.

pfffff, hopefully it had catalytic converters on it, so you didn't pollute the air.

Stan

I don't think so, Stanley
Who are they going to replace us with?
Where are they going to get 4-500 racers that will go to divisionals for 3-4 day to win a mere pittance, compared to the entry? Multiply that by 7-8 times for the privilege of getting abused at Nat'ls.
Divisionals have NO spectator gate, so that whole scam would fold.

Bracket racers know better. We lost that crowd decades ago.

We damn sure know they won't replace you with Import racing.

The ball is in your court.. I doubt anybody at NHRA has the promotional skills to replace you with anybody.

Mark,
I was talking about National Events. But don't let that get in your way. I know how you like to spin things.

I knew that.
You don't think NHRA will give up the Div. deal readily, do you? You don't think they're going to let bracket cars in off the street to replace S/SS and the .90's at Nat'ls do you?
You don't think guys will still go to 8-9 Div's and then boycott Nationals, do you?

I know how you like go off topic to avoid answering the question.
