Make Divisionals Great Again

Guys we go through this every year, yet nothing ever gets changed. I think the stakeholders( Track Owners & Nhra must sit down and the track owners
say look fellas, this isn't working for us. Do I think NHRA overcharges? I
would have no way of knowing. There was a time the track owners lined up
to get a points meet. Not the case in 2023. In everything I am about to say,
Mr. Bader is the exception. He could give most of us a step by step manual
to LODRS success, and I don't know what percentage would get it, but it would be low. Are some LODRS races entertaining? Very much so, but only
to us. At Bader's LODRS events, he got jet cars, Funny Cars, Fireworks, Fabolous Concessions, Spotless washrooms, Paratroopers, people being shot out of cannons, etc. I feel that both the Track and The NHRA have to re evaluate the relationship. There are a lot more doubles, because there are a lot less willing tracks. J,R.
