Back to the lecture at hand... Wait. Probably not a lot of Doctor Dre fans in this thread.

Anyway. I guess us junkies are screwed! Maybe if I ever win a Wally (especially not in my fwd turbo car (cause we know how much respect ill actually get for that)) Ill be able to quit NHRA Cold Turkey!

Guess you have to decide what's important to you: A hunk of metal called a "Wally", or the respect, admiration, and recognition from your peers along with your own personal satisfaction and sense of accomplishment.

In my opinion, it's what's behind the trophy and *how* you win it more than the trophy itself.

after 34 years im not a current member.
we were in a tornado when wally died, short spurts of destruction , since then its a hurricane, long period of destruction... i hate what they have done to my sport.

i only hope the sponsors like nitro plate realize the benefit of putting thier cash directly into class racing like they did with thier combos this year. they developed a true realtionship with us without NHRA milking them for the glendora payroll... next we need a sportsman circuit of events WITH CREDIBLE TECH (and a 5 year moratorium on rule changes) with the sponsorship of select intelligent manufacturers who want this type of relationship with us

i will never get anything coated anywhere but nitro plate > hear that sponsors.

you see jim this deal only need sponsors and racers > WE DONT NEED NHRA.

captain jack

if we dont get a guaranteed moratorium on rule changes we are done, why would anyone spend thier hard earned (well mine is hard earned) cash to build a car that at any given whim or idiots request could be useless ?????????

True, But some of us still want to play. I'm choosing to play just not how NHRA say's I have too. I only brought the stocker out 4 times this year and only ran stock once (IHRA) The other weekends were old time drags or special meets. At least some of us have bracket racing to fall back on. Maybe next year I'll play at some of the Nostalgia type races more, they are alot fun anyways, :-)
