Re: Redman petition
Alan, you know very well the NHRA is all about the family, specifically the JFR and DSR families but a few others to 'spice' up things...apparently you build a huge youth following by letting them smell nitro in the pits, selling them T shirts, etc. There must be a connection to the instant gratification mentality that runs rampant today and of course we know that's not an identifiable demographic amongst the sportsman ranks. Don't have a clue as to the NHRA hierarchy but there must be some family connections regarding hires within the IT department, marketing, etc. so based on all that I'd have to say they are very family oriented.
From all appearances Redman and his ilk are too closely associated with "our" family rather than the NHRA family, hence his persona non grata status.

Re: Redman petition
Redman is as good as they get, won't be the same at races without him.

Re: Redman petition
From my understanding this all started with Redman last year and now this year it is not any better. I talked to him at Las Vegas last fall and that was his story. He was the best at the parking plan than anyone I know and I am old.
I also understand Harold who usually runs the front of the staging lanes is on a 4 race suspension. NHRA just does not understand any of the Sportsman racers and does not care to understand any of us. My 2 Cents Rick Cates Canyon, TX |

Re: Redman petition
I don't know the process of getting a petition started but I'd gladly sign it.
