There is no bias. All horses, jockeys, trainers, owners, fans and bettors are treated exactly the same. There is no advantage. But that is not the case with the new cars qualifying against the older cars on the same sheet. That would be like allowing a four year old Grade 1 winner with 110 pounds on his back to compete in the Derby. No serious racing organization would ever allow it. Any organization trying such a stunt would be immediately discredited and become irrelevant.
the biggest way to make a point is don't show up at those races.

Bruce you sir are an unhappy person.

Joseph I believe that you may be missing the entire point here. Us Old Car guys are racing cars that were actually bought off of dealer showroom floors, licensed, driven on the street and are now race cars. The new cars have created a LOT of interest and brought some new blood into Stock Eliminator (good thing) but because of the HP changes and ratings from the factories it is somewhat difficult to compete against the new cars. Letting the new cars run without a AHFS penalty at some races has not helped.

No, the biggest way to make a point is by hiring the right help. And just because you can not make a coherent defense of your point of view and I can - does not make me an unhappy person. You have resorted to this lame comment in the past when you could not defend your position. So must tell you that I'm totally happy with myself. And yes Jack nobody makes me go racing. You are such a profound fellow. Where does all that wisdom come from?

Bruce
These fellows know exactly what the conversation is all about.
There are no comments specifically on the one valid point of contention.
They are just screwing with ya because they know how passionate you are.
If not thay have more money than brains.

NHRA does read these threads and do take seriiouis comments and consider them. This venue is a sounding board for racers and great source for them.

There are many great cars that have been parked for years now because of the new cars unfair advantages. Separating them in to thier own classes is bringing some back out.

The purpose of the SRAC is to be the voice of the racer our representatives should be getting the point across to NHRA . The communication we receive from our division rep shows it is working there is just this one point of contention that needs to be addressed:
The shootout cars should not be part of the regular eliminator or on the qualifying sheet if runs are not part of AHFS. Simple stuff.

Sir I can back my stance if need be. Can you make NHRA hire new help? All I was suggesting was take control of the only thing you can do by not going to the races. Maybe NHRA would see a lower car count and take yall serious. And I'm not making a coherent defense? I believe I said in an earlier post that we agree with you but NHRA makes the rules not us.

I say VOTE BRUCE head of NHRA, he's got this figured out!

You're right Frank. They remind me of the Black Knight character from the Monty Python movie Holy Grail.

Joseph,
To clarify, my comment about hiring the right help did not mean hiring the right help to work for nhra.
