Sportsman Council - Page 2

Don't you think that everything the council is working on should be printed on the Lucas Oil Sportsman page of NHRA.com? We shouldn't be kept in the dark and then just have revisions thrust on us. It'll feel just like the treatment we're getting from Glendora.....WE NEED BETTER COMMUNICATION!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That is the reason why they created the council...if all racers get involved, there will never be anything agreed to.

I would hope to think that every change is coming from the request of the racers not from our own agenda. Thats the reason if you have a request you should contact your committe person in your Division or any member in any division for that fact!

I can tell you all this. I've had a lot of requests from racers and every one I've discussed with other members on the committee or even NHRA people. Some of these requests have been good ideas, some simply self serving and some off the wall. One thing everyone needs to understand is that NHRA functions a lot like the government. It is a large bureaucracy that takes a long time to change. A lot of the things we are working on now probably won't be seen until next year, if then. One of the things I would like to see changed is a more streamlined process to make rule changes, especially relatively minor tech changes. I think we need to be patient and see how this thing plays out.
