There are several of these associations throughout the country and they are all doing well. Hey NHRA, racers just wanna have fun! Jim

Jim and Smitty, I kept silent on this, waiting for someone else to speak first. And now that you have, I may be opening a can of worms, or a pot of gold. Bear in mind...this is a "what if"..... what if these associations were to hire Mr. Miller away from NHRA..albiet at less pay...simply to add more legitamacy to these events? It would allow the option of record runs and maybe class eliminators for those looking for an NHRA alternative. Please don't mistake me... I don't want the SSSA to be "enhanced" by any stretch. This would be in addition to what we're already doing. But there are several racers out there "on the fence" between running NHRA events and the growing popularity of independent - regional Association races. This may be the breaking point for those who doubt and enough to convince them to finally break the NHRA habit.

Just my thoughts...
