I like everything about Ed's proposal except the part about combining the auto and manual classes

Re: Please vote here:
Okay..First point. Those of you who may think that this poll has no validity ,and doesn't reflect much of anything,..well you're entitled to your own opinion.I'll leave it there.
No. 1, Lots of folks still interested in performance, but, as Glen from NHRA stated, the AHFS system would have to be totally re-vamped , or nobody would want to play along. That's not gonna happen. Their system is totally mechanical, meaning data in, results out. Nobody has to make a decision about hp or indexes, like in the old days. No. 1 folks are not going to want to set a record for a couple of pts. in the first half , then go out to Vegas at the end of the season and lose a close heads up because they're carrying an extra 50- 100 lbs, thereby losing a spot in the top 10. Likewise , No. 2 racers, (which there is a substantial amount of ) are not going to want to lose a top ten or Div. spot to a record setter. I suspect they've already let this be known to the SRAC. No. 3 proves (at least to me ) that very few just want to let NHRA run amok. No. 4 was just an easy out. Surprised there weren't more there. I don't think I mentioned stick and auto combining. NHRA seems to know it won't work..as do I..Again, just my opinion.

Re: Please vote here:
Well, I have followed this proposal and all the ups and downs about NHRA and their Reps that are supposed to be our voice. But since I'm an old racer that is a former multiple track owner I'm going to tell it like I see it.
1. Ed is forgetting the first rule of racing. (so are a lot of others) It is not about the racers. It is about the money. 2. NHRA sells the divisional series to individual track owners. So no matter what the racers or NHRA wants it all comes down to: can the program stand the changes and the track owners make more profit for the time involved ?? 3. From a racers stand point most of the proposals make some sense, (all except combining stick and auto) but from a track owners view they are a burden that consumes time. 4. Some of what he is proposing was done in the past, but times have changed. We are living in today, when the spectators are wanting something different than what we enjoyed back in the 60's and 70's. BTW: I do know that NHRA and the Rep's ran Ed's proposal all over the place, up and down and back and forth. Getting upset or your shorts in a wad will not change a thing. You can beat the proposal or NHRA up all you want, but nothing is going to change.. OK, now you can beat up this old Keyboard Jockey.
