This is not a good thing. They keep pushing the sportsmen racers, the backbone, further down the ladder. They have time for match races, grudge races, dog & pony show etc and make the real racers run on Thursday; not right! Someone pays $300 for an entry and half of them are out the very first day.

Dan would they listen to you, as a seasoned veteran and our most winning racer, if you passed along the displeasure or negative feelings?

Also at the Gators they have the majority of the sportsman racers pitted at the road course. They need to get those rigs out of that area so they can park spectators there once the pro show starts. You do not want to be parked back there once they open that up for spectator parking.

Like we didn’t see this coming 10-15 years ago? Last national I raced was 2010 swore to never attend another unless it’s indy. I posted on here quite some time ago that all of us as a community should put forth an organization to preserve stock and super stock , with the swipe of a pen Nhra could render everything everyone of is own useless!!!!! It only take one top brass decision make to get rid of us and it all goes away. To be honest I’m really sick of the “Nhra thing” it has lost its luster all around , right from the pros to super street , manufacturers midway and tv show. I have more fun on a Sunday stock super stock race (and first round is not Thursday).
Think I’m going to bolt the mufflers back on the stocker and build a turbo radial tire car.
