Re: Sportsman Council phone conference Tonight!
We had a phone conference tonite which will only put issues on the NHRA boards list of things to discuss.....I think I have a pretty good feel for what the Div 3 guys want....what wasn't odvious we asked for a poll on NHRA.com.
We asked for hand brakes to be allowed on dragsters...a seperate system...currently not allowed but widely used
We asked for diapers on all cars...
we asked for the scotty rule to be removed...so the super street guys can run 2 classes
we asked for a poll to see if the majority wanted the indexes lowered in super gas and super comp .5 sec ...many of us were worried it would drive costs up and we don't want that...hopefully we will get a poll on this one...
We discussed revamping the points system...ie the bonus points and the short fields getting 105
We discussed double points races....and or a points race at the sports nationals...in addition to the nationals....trying to cut costs and increase participation....this will be discussed at the track operators meetings....as it is partially their issue...
We needed to get some issues out there so when the NHRA board meets they consider our requests...we can't change the world but maybe we can improve it a little each year...
Getting all the Reps together sounds simple...but I guess it isn't...as the Div 6 rep couldn't make it...Johnny D from Div 1...Steve Cohen from Div 2...Rock Haas from Div 3...Terry Sullivan from Div 4.....Terry Edwards from Div 5...George Scott from Div 6....and Steve Williams from Div 7....Mike Rice of NHRA is the moderator of the super class SRAC and Jay Hullinger also sat in.
Thanks,
Rock
