Integrity seems to be in short supply in the in all walks of life today.

You don't. The integrity has to come from people above tech. Because tech has to be allowed to actually enforce the rules. People, and parts, have to be thrown out. not let slide.

If that ever happened where would all the sportsman racers go ?

Maybe NHRA should stop doing tech altogether and just start handing out participation trophies.

I'm definetly not a participation trophy guy. lol

What do we do? Go back to points?

Disclaimer: I haven't raced Stock in 25 years. I usually don't comment on threads that involve current racing. I couldn't help myself here. But, not having a dog in this fight, I'm gone...

If that happened then the bracket class/cars would become the new NHRA sportsman racers IF they decided to keep racing. I hope it never happens but there is always that chance. A lot of guys said that would NEVER happen with the IHRA. And look what happened to Modified elim. Yeah, we ended up with S/C and S/G plus S/ST at some National event races.

Really? Have you ever seen the stands at a bracket race?

Yeah.............I don't think I'll hold my breath waiting for that to happen.
Do you race S/SS?

Yes I did. Now don't laugh I raced a 1953 Ford Flat Head in N/S back in the stone age (1964). .Gee I missed out on the $300 dollar entry fees and the $100 car number crap ! I raced in SS/IA at the Sports Nationals. That was in the early 1980's. Today I have a 1934 Chevy 3 window steel bodied street rod now with all the good stuff. A/C, Power Windows, Leather interior, coil over suspension, Rack and pinion steering, and a ZZ4 crate engine, 700-R4 trams and a 9 inch Ford rear. Its less work and less $$$$ to go to the car shows so do I miss drag racing???? Yes but not all the BS and expense that you have to deal with today.

Yes but do you really think most spectators fill the stands to watch Stock and S/S ? Then why does the NHRA cater to T/ Fuel and Fuel funny car plus the circus acts ?

NO.

So what relevance does your opinion have here? Sounds like you should stick to car shows and stuff like that.
