Default Re: Hope I do not regret this post and I hope it is taken as just an honest question.

I, yes I have been asked "not to feed the animals" but well, I have a very solid opinion on this I expressed it before and was well disagreed with.

When this thread Started, I HONESTLEY Believed there was an honest question, not a disquised reason to rant.

This has been flogged to death in this and 97 other threads.

Why didnt you title the thread "DP and CJ Ratings" ? Well....I have an idea few would have responded, why did you feel it neccesary to disquise your question and intent ?

I think (and would even if we DIDNT have a DP, yes really) that this is GOOD for Stock, and Superstock and the NHRA, the Manufactuers, the Fans, The Press....look at the balance sheet...its good for more than its bad for, unfortunatley the people who feel it bad are a pretty good crew that ive been fortunate to become a part of.

I, I do have empathy, Ive been there, I have been there in spades. So they werent cars...so what my investment, work and effort were no different, and the changes led to a pretty long hiatus from bikes.But I DO understand 100% , Now we have Wera, and AHRMA and well...its fun, its not "spotlight time" but if thats not youre reason for doing it (and it isnt mine) then its awesome.

Racing, well I think that a LOT of racers are looking at it wrong, they see racing PURLEY as a Competitive sport, and for THEM it is, but you have to understand RACERS themselves are only a Small, (small but irreplacable and important) part of Racing.

Racing , to the REST of the world is one of 2 things, a vertical market for sale of products to, OR ENTERTAINMENT....yes pure and simple ENTERTAINMENT.

Do you really think 98.5% of people in the stands, the ones that gate revenue comes from, the ones that the Sponsors are targeting, the ones that make National events even feasible from a cost offset, do you think they care 1 bit about keeping the new cars out or rated right ?

You feel you are the reason for racing and everything should cater to your perception of "fair play" but understand you (and I) are a small , understandably critical but small part.

Who do you think they are more interested in making happy, a small contingent of drivers or everyone else ?

I mean am I the only person that understands how the real adult grown up world works ? You live in it and adapt, or you perish its simple, very simple.

How many buggy whip makers do you know ?
