Stupid question that doesn't deserve a response!
Lots more productive things to stimulate my mind than this!
Oh geez, I guess I did respond......you win.

I love posts like this, you guys don’t think some bean counter from NHRA isn’t reading some of this stuff and thinking, hmm see these guys will be just fine when we cut them out of NHRA completely, all the money spent for a class car, following a rule book and here we are saying “hell I’ll just race my local stuff and save my money and have fun”. How about do that now and quit bitching about how much NHRA sucks and quit giving them ideas to get rid of us and us agreeing that it’s cool we would still carry on. I built and spent money in class racing because that’s what I like and want, not to just run local for the rest of my life.

Just checking to see if anything has changed..
BTW, with guys going to 8 or 9 points meets now, I don't feel like NHRA is being dissed or strong armed by anybody right now.

We would go primer then/put in our hidden Nitrous/ and go back
to the streets like we raced on for so many many years once again!

I've wondered about that myself. The question would be is anyone going to pick up the reins and be a true class racing organization. Nobody is right now except NHRA . Their all "kind of's". All these other organizations and attempts are relying on NHRA to do the heavy lifting . Who pays, after NHRA throwing in of the towel, for the "rest of the story". Complete Teardowns, with knowledgeable picky tech men that stop the stretching of the rules... real ones like have slipped away some, but at least not completely vanished from the possibility. I'm not talking about looking at a throttle body and a set of seat belts and walking away. Heads up racing, and some type of engine monitoring to keep things level would be needed. Even a horsepower committee like other organizations continue to do, or AHFS as current.( EXCEPT INDY LOL !!!!) Without the total package, Heads Up racing would fall apart pretty quick. Is anybody going to take all this stuff serious? Or you talking about Bracket racing Class Cars. My opinion don't matter now, but I have wondered the same questions as you Mark.. If your just going to bracket race, why bother with all the rules?
