Wild Horse Stock Full @ 3 g.p.
Again, thanks, NHRA, for supporting your local part-time Sportsman racers.

The owner of the car that I'm associated with works full time, for himself.He doesn't have the time to travel 3500 miles in Div 7, to get 6 g.p.'s . Not too long ago, before you were racing in Stock, apparently, the local quota was 100+. That was a realistic number for the area. 65 is not. That is my complaint. So glad that you have an abundance of time and money to attend an ever increasing amount of events . Good luck out there.

Re: Wild Horse Stock Full @ 3 g.p.
So Mark I can fully understand your disappointment as I was on the outside looking in for the WinterNats! After a nearly 17 year layoff I’m certainly not chiming in here to cast stones and add insult to injury but John makes several key points not the least of which is “The rules for entry and quotas are well known” and you have to have rules… So if you have a solution that is logistically sound I’m pretty certain it won’t fall on deaf ears here.
I’m one of those that jumped through hoops late last year to get my 3gp so I’d have a shot early this season and was fortunate enough to get in to Wild Horse yesterday. Late yesterday someone withdrew from the WinterNats and my due diligence was rewarded by locking that opening down. So I hope you have the same good fortune!

If it took 3 this year, then maybe 4 next year, then maybe what? Out of the division races too? What have you gained? Hope you're in for the long haul then. Like I said , good luck to you or any of my friends who want to participate in the LODRS rip off program. My complaint is not with you , but rather with the NHRA business model. 45 years of giving them money ,and getting less and less in return...I've had enough. We have more fun at the association races anyway. (BTW, I do know just a bit about trying to make money promoting drag races.)
