Making Stock and Super / Stock Sellable

Great Idea!
can we petition for it?
I am putting together some pics and videos of my wagon from the last few years, to show a friend. After looking at some videos from qualifying, I have decided to use 1st round footage. It looks bad from a slow car perspective during qualifying, because the "race" is over before it starts.
This really seems like a "no- brainer". Can`t think of any reason not to do it.100% more spectator appeal.

I love the idea, I remember when I was young going to the races watching the crowd bet and cheer for one or other of the 2 cars. Now, the crowds are less and confusion is more. I'd like to see class index qualifying. And on another note, lets bring back the "Bill Bater" payout days. 4 or 8 cars getting all the $$ out of 30+ entries should be looked at. Any round $$ I won turned into an incentive to stay in the hunt for the next event and a great conversation piece with friends. Non racers always wants to know how much did you win at the races! Each round win should have a reward, $ of some amount.

Agree 100%. Not only would it be more appealing to the spectator but also to potential competitors who might be considering getting their feet wet with a lower class car. Add in a 20% or so reduction in horsepower and there could be new cars/competitors coming out of the woodwork.

No need for a poll on this one, I don't think.
Somewhere here in the archives, is a list of the Sportsman Racing reps.
I looked for it on the Lucas site but couldn't find it. Maybe someone knows the NHRA code to get inside there.
Write your rep.
Post the response.
Looks like one thing we might be able to accomplish.

Mark, go to www.nhraracer.com and look at the column on the left. It has a link to the SRAC Advisors.
