National Dragster

[Jack McCarthy]

how many of you actually read something in ND's last issues that you did not already know ??

now you guys know i NEVER miss a chance to bash NHRA but...
there aint a print publication (newspapers to monthly mags) that isnt in big trouble...
face it guys > you get your news from a phone !

so i dont blame nhra for its inability to change the world.

now about a rebate on my dues to cover the 50% reduction in publishing and mailing fees let me know where to sign up...but im sure it just goes on that list of "ways nhra has screwed me" and just take it like a captain

NHRA doesn't listen because Sportsman racers aren't really part of the sport anymore. Their version of drag racing is all about the Circus/State Fair/Music Festival atmosphere and the revenue that consumers wandering around looking at shiny stuff can generate. The new ND is simply a reflection of that mentality. As somebody said, it's just another version of a National Event program. Everything they produce is a marketing piece. I haven't actually read a Dragster in years; because there's nothing in them. I subscribe because I have to, to race.

I'm SUPER PISSED about not having the Championship posters anymore. The first time since '94 a Mopar won Prostock and I can't get a poster!!!!!! They aren't even available through the NHRA stores.

-NO printed rule book.(Have to pay for one now).
-NO Campionship poster
-LESS actual National Dragster isssue ( with LESS actual sportsman coverage).

They can keep the stupid Fan guide. Who really cares about it any way?
And the kicker is...You HAVE to be a member to get a license!

However, you aren't missing much.

I got my1st issue for this year yesterday............ without the fan guide.
Each year I'm a bit more disappointed with the lack of coverage of our Sportsman categories. Thanks Goodness for guys like Ken, Jack and all the others that make a special effort to post updates etc. from the divisionals, and national events they attend.

each division should clone larry & patsy hill and then they could just keep thier advertising pig and we'd all be better off !!!!!!!!!!

My fan guide came by itself this year.

I got my first issue and fan guide but I twice now I have gotten emails that say I can view the current issue online. When I log in all I can see is the fan guide. Anyone else having issues viewing online?
