My money sez it'll never happen.

(that would make a great tee shirt!)

I agree that would make a great tee shirt.
Problem is, it is NHRA's world and we just race in it.
Racers, me included just want to race and compete and that is about all we can agree on. I am at the end of my racing career and just want to go have fun without all the hassles and the stress.
Like you Billy, I do not believe it will ever happen.
I am not sure how much longer the Sportsmen will be included at the National level as I feel we are just a distraction for NHRA at the National events now.
Just My 2 Cents

We will be a "distraction" for as long as we(the Sportsman Racers) pre-pay for all of the expenses or until the board of directors can figure out how to get out from under their "not-for-profit" status and "sell" us off.

I had 2 of my customers tell me I was getting bashed on class racer. I dont really call that bashed, I am a little tougher than that. Thanks for the kind words from a few. Truth is, I havent looked at CR in a year. It seems like mostly complaining about non issues, not really sure what I had to do with Ti valves, but I will say, thats a dumb idea in my opinion. We blew up 6 motors in a year and a half because of broken intake valves. We went to the spintron, fixed it in like 2 days, and havent broke one since. Steve Comella put 100 runs on an engine last year, I put new valves in it. As far as my PS program, its sitting here. My work load has increased alot lately (thanks Mr President), and I dont have time for much right now. I bought a new DMG mill last year, and am trying to make money with that. I dont have a problem with people that enjoy spending countless hours on the internet, to each his own, but my interests are in making things, solving problems, and putting $$ in the bank.
later,
and remember, your keyboard is never going to bring you a trophy.
