Is there a way to get S,S/S racers to band together?

You don't wait till you're on your last leg before you begin to fight. Where are the seniors, the veterans that can show us the way.

Wade,look at Artie's "Good bye" thread.He's accused of being a big cry baby,for bringing
up some of the crap going on,mostly by our supposed leaders in Glendora.Others have been accused of the same.Some people say "just keep going to the races and have fun".
Well if you have enough money and time on your hands you can do that.A lot of people racing S/SS are finding it difficult to keep up monetarily,time and the fact that our
"leaders" are ruling by the ostrich method(put head in sand,what you don't see/hear doesn't mean squat).Guys have been making suggestions for alternate ways to race in a S/SS format and that's fine.But if it catches on our friends in Glendora can put the brakes on it pronto,by threatening any NHRA sanctioned track by either suing or lifting their sanction if they hosted any races by another race sanctioning body (to include any S/SS
regional organizations.Right now small associations (for example East coast S/SS RA
or ASRA) aren't big enough to pose a problem.But if an SRAC like Jeff tried to organize
then I'm sure they would jump to squash it.They would be a formidable monetary threat.
