At least I tried, you couldn't pay me enough to Lonnie's job. I can't imagine what he thinks of us now. James Schaechter's post was well thought out, and gave me hope, but some of you guys.... well I just don't get. God help Stock and Super Stock. |

Darren you are wrong about most people not being able to relate with the old cars. Some of the most exciting racing going on in Stock eliminator is a race between a Pinto, or front wheel drive car, and a 8 or 9 second Factory Stock car. The announcers usually give it a big build up. And guess who most of the people in the stands are rooting for. LOL

I have always respected posts by Daren, this one not so much.
Also Ken is correct, he afforded a rare opportunity to voice constructive feedback and guess what, the typical crap. When was the last time the N.H.R.A. Technical Director sat down for an interview before Lonnie? |

I believe that Lonnie should try and understand though that there is years if not decades of some Racers feeling neglected, taken advantage of and maybe somewhat abused by some in positions of power in this Sport.

Ken-
I would be happy to share my "customer experience" from this past weekend's Lebanon Valley National Open with Lonnie. Have him give me a call! Dean |

Yes Ken I spoke of the starting line first, it's an easy correctable item and will give the racer value for the moneys spent.

I have one issue that could easily be corrected but this is also for every class I am by myself at almost all national events when I pull into the water box it seems like everybody turns their back on me
I have no idea where I’m at in the water. I cannot just open my door and look down. Please I’m not bashing but if someone in that group of officials could just keep an eye out for such a thing would be greatly appreciated

I think a 64 car qualified would be interesting. Even if there wasn't a quota,I'm thinking there would be some races where they don't even get 64.Then what? A 32 car qualified field?

When we had Lonnie on the podcast he expressed that he wished we would just run all out and go as fast as we can so AHFS can do its job. I told him we won't do that unless there is incentive. I propose:
1. Points for qualifying. Minimum 17 qualified cars; same amount for Nationals and Divisionals. 17-32 cars --> Top 3 qualifiers get 3 points, 2 points, and 1 point. 33-64 cars --> Top 4 qualifiers get 4 points, 3 points, 2 points, and 1 point. 65-128 cars --> Top 5 qualifiers get 5 points, 4, 3, 2, and 1 point. 2. Points for setting a record. Maximum 2 records per year. 1st record --> 10 points 2nd record --> 5 points 3. Points for Class Eliminations 2 cars in Class --> 10 points 3-4 cars in Class --> 20 points, 10 RU 5-8 cars in Class --> 30 points, 20 RU, 10 Semi 9-16 cars in Class --> 40 points, 30 RU, 20 Semi, 10 C2 17-32 cars in Class--> 50 points, 40 RU, 30 Semi, 20 C3, 10 C2 4. Higher qualified cars get lane choice. No more coins. Payout calcutta I will address in another post because people don't read long posts haha. Quote:
