Last time I looked, you need at least 1 grade point to enter a national event so it would be tough to debut at Sportsnats.

You do not need a grade point to enter the JEGS SportsNationals. In fact, beginning this year with the revived Bowling Green event, I believe you actually get a grade point for attending.

Don't waste your time unless you want a doughnut or a cup of coffee. Peter Clifford is a good public speaker and you can tell he is passionate about NHRA. Unfortunately he does not understand or have a clue about our type of sportsman racing. I sat through his presentation at the gators. When he spoke of sportsman it was alcohol a pro mods. Not what we think of sportsman. He will talk up the new TV package and the All Access package and a few other youth programs. Other than that its the same old song and dance. Nothing that would help or interest our type of racers except for trying to grow the sport.

It's so frustrating, that NHRA cannot see the potential of S/SS with just a little bit of FOCUSSED advertising, they could draw in the car clubs, outlaw street racer fans, with our program....say run 2-3 rounds back to back Saturday afternoon (round robin, ( which we should be prepared to do), have special seating (to fill all those empty seats) for groups and clubs
If NHRA is so confident in their Pro show, these ignored groups, just may come back on Sunday There are MANY more ways to promote our CAR SHOW "in Action" IF NHRA marketing cared Like with many pro sports and college even, the TV money makes them lazy |
