When I pointed out all the deficiencies.
I was called a cry baby
Now I'm sitting here with an ear to ear grin.

I must be missing something. I don't see anybody complaining.

One of the best moves nhra as made in a while, at least for the fans and the sponsers.

Much better to watch than single runs. So far I've not heard any of the guys running those complain either. Pretty good to watch at Indy.

Then everyone must be happy as a clam.
Or people don't have the guts to put it in writing?
Whatever.

The only complaint that I have heard at the track is the Situation with the "Combo Class" There is really nothing to complain about the alternative was the whole program would have gone away with all the single runs the sponsors were getting nothing out of the old system, it was broken and needed to be fixed.

About all I have ever heard was like "Guess the gravy train as ended." Nothing real negative. Well, except from one guy here. :-)

Nice try Ed but no cigar. I'm not taking the bait.
I was at Atlanta for the nationals. 13 car in the combo auto superstock class first round of class. Second round 3 cars. I guess 4 cars were so happy they forgot to come back.
BTW nhra gave out 12 trophies at that race. A lot of cars have just decided not to bother with the combo stuff. Just run first round of class and park them.

If you ran a class that normally had a lot of cars you would see slower guys doing that in regular classes. First round is still qualifying, guys that don't have a shot just don't come back for a sure butt kicking. Nothing new about that.

Maybe nobody is complaining because there is nothing to complain about. Add some money to the program and then you will hear more mouths. Art is right on this; the system is unfair in some aspects and will need adjustments. Let’s just hope next year we get a few more stickers on the list.
