NHRA has no idea that the best show they have is already at the track. I guess 90% or more of the Sunday crowd does not realize there were more than 8 stk/ss cars on the grounds for the weekend. There is nothing subtle about NHRA management's turn away from our classes. They either don't care or don't like stk/ss or even worse they don't recognize the quality of cars and competition on the track. We have new vs old cars, fast vs slow, 100 to 150 mph. I bet the car down the first early drag strip had DOORS. Our race cars today, STOCK and SUPER STOCK, are the evolution of that first car.

So are they going to make the national event a "no prep" race?
400 spectators betting at the starting line and thousands more leaning on the guardwalls will love seeing the fuelers bounce off the walls. |

Cant wait to see how NHRA handles cars bouncing off walls and contaminating the race surface. Maybe they will impose a fine ! Sounds like win/win. Cant wait to see all the fans bum rush the starting line too! Best decision yet! This is Russias fault!

The video reminds me of what my local track in Darlington looks like every week. Grudge racing is big around here. Standing at the starting line like a crew member and gambling on a particular racecar/driver gives the fans a more personal reason to have a stake in the outcome of every race.

It's bad to say but we Stock racers look like our own worst enemy right now talking about quotas. We cried like a bunch of college girls after the election over Gainesville and in the end didn't fill the quota they gave us. I doubt they will want to listen to a whole lot more......

The MCR S/SS races are BY FAR superior, to our other options!
