Just talkin' here,

Pathetic the way NHRA has crapped on sportsman and class racers over the past 20 years. Purse is down, contingencies are down, tech is down, respect is down, only 60 cars allowed to come to a national event. But there are still just as many cars out there and people who want to race as ever. Just pathetic.

With the exception of Indy 60 is the high range, more are now 45, 50 and 55.

Kyle, that’s plain funny; I don’t care who you are....but come to think of it I’ve been seeing more Stockers that “identify” as Super Stockers.

Warned you that if NHRA did not support CM and PS that it would systematically be doing the same to the rest of the Sport.

Had they been supportive there would be an IHRA and lot more affordable cars and people trying to compete.

NHRA wants to dominate the direction of Drag Racing and our voices are an irritant to them.

Our water is fine..!
Got the finest cleanest water called Chateau De Potomac.
One of the best water systems on the planet.
Far from the polluted disaster of Flint Michigan or Sulfur Water of Florida !

You guys still don’t get it...!
Go ahead shoot yourself in the foot !
Did you read your own comments?
Did you understand them?
What happens if NHRA decides on another 20 year rule?
It is not so far fetched.
What would you do then.....Bitch?

Having PS and CM means more racers can afford to participate.
It is simple arithmetic and the number one comments on these Bloggs.
It would draw more bracket racers that have abandoned Stock.
The market is there. SS has adopted the strategy to keep it alive.

More Class Racers also means more Political Pull !
Which means the powers to be have successfully kept us divided..
Then some of you sided with them ..bang bang their goes your foot!
How many complained that NHRA is not listening?
It was said a thousand times............!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If NHRA wants to Divide the potential class structure.
It is simple... the business goes elsewhere.

Haven’t you noticed?
Such as grass roots drag racing going back to the street..!

What the non-gender pronoun is it you do not get?

NHRA is reducing the quota in Stock at National Events. Top Dragster, Sportsman, Factory Stock have gone up. It appears newer and faster is more appealing, at least to NHRA.

And also to the consumer they want to sell tickets to. Fast heads up is what people want to see these days, and unfortunately, that's not us.

Starting to look like stock is getting old. Same old cars have been showing up for 50 years. Same paint jobs, dried up stickers and the folks that remember the "Good ole days." Drive a new Mustang, Camaro or Dodge off the show room and face it. These cars are cool too!
I'm actually trying to build a new car. Yes I'm a fish out of water and at 63 yrs old. I'm not as limber as i used to be but willing to give it 110%. I guess I like a Challenging adventure. Just my 2 cents worth.

Happy New Years to all,

I agree, that's what NHRA wants. Yet Dan wants more slow(er) cars.
NHRA is happier with less racers in classes that might require teardowns. I feel NHRA wants to adopt the Billy Meyer/IHRA model as the path to the future. They just need to be less abrupt with the changes. So, let's slowly phase the racers out of the market, and replace them with more malleable participants. NHRA doesn't want to "fire" the current racers.....they want them to leave of there own free will.
