With that said, I'm out of here for a while, no Ken hasn't banned me yet.

I've got two cars to get race ready in 8 weeks for testing. Got a very busy May and June, starting with my son graduating college on May 5th.

Ed congrats on your son graduating college thats a big deal in his life.

This issue isn't as much about the rules - it's about an organization that is pushing out the Sportsman racers of all categories from National events. None is so blind as he who refuses to see.

I wish that we had our "Membership Vote" back. Do ya think that in this day-and-age, that would change things?

Yes it would, if it was set up for each category. And leave the day to day operations up to qualified people who have raced.

opinion, assumption at best, a lie at worst. But again, NHRA National events were never about sportsman racers nor are they what puts spectators in the stands.
