Believe me it can be a problem.

I would hope by now all of you would have realized NHRA'S top brass really doesn't give a rats behind about sportsman racing at national events. But just in case you haven't understood their message they just shot another missile over your heads. I have to laugh at those of you who had bought into their reason for cutting fields down due TV constraints. So how does that work? We don't have the time for all of you who have supported us through the years but we have plenty of time to bring on jet cars. Maybe in 2018 they will bring the quotas to 40 for each class and blame it on the time it takes to run the jet cars. It really sucks that they are in most cases the only game in town. I wish there was something like methadone that we all could take to get rid of this addiction. It sucks when your drug dealer doesn't want you around!!! Barry

I can see that. Something I never dealt with with either my slow Stocker stuff or the dragster when I ran S/C back 15 years ago.

I get the feeling NHRA would just as soon they would not have to deal with us at all.
No tech issues with crap like jet cars.

I want to see the first prototype run of one of those front engine jobs..

Makes local bracket racing more attractive, supporting the local Class Associations even better...if they are moving in the "Nitro Jam" direction can't they see how that model failed already? If they indeed keep cutting quotas next year the writing is indeed on the wall (if it's not already).

Maybe they should try $1 ice cream before Jets

Best analogy I've heard in a long time. The guy charging you $330 for no tangible product doesn't want your money, yet he's going broke. OMG, what has become of us...

That's an excellent analogy Dan.

There are a lot of us looking at each other and wondering what is going to happen to our sport.

Hope to see you at the races, soon.
