Unlike Stock and Super Stock you guys actually hold all the cards because the OEM's are still engaged at the Showdown level and nhra likes their money. You guys should form your own Showdown Association and then each group of OEM racers can select a member from their group to form a 3 man advisory panel. Then this panel can hammer out all of these problems. Each group would vote on a resolution provided by the panel and if it is approved, hand it to nhra and the OEM's and tell them this is what you want. You guys are spending all the money and doing all the work - the OEM's and nhra get much more out of it than you do. It could also be considered as a peace treaty.
