Default If an advocate could be found - what would you say?

What would you say to an advocate who agreed to help with the important issues that are confronting the Sportsman racer? No, this isn't about any type of legal complaints.

An important Sponsor to NHRA at both the National (event sponsor) and Divisional level has agreed to listen to what we have to say and to make a determination as to whether our issues are important enough for them to approach NHRA. The staff of this company expressed surprise and a real concern for the health of Sportsman Racing. I know we are a fractious bunch from time to time but it would be very important for folks to offer their sincere thoughts about the current state of Sportsman racing (from all Categories) at NHRA. Thanks in advance for any and all responsible responses.

Good post Bruce. I would like to see Lucas Oil express their opinions to NHRA. They support the racers and have for many years and their voice should be heard as they sponsor NHRA.

I also heard that NHRA hired someone to overlook sportsman racing and that he was walking around at Pomona. I believe the young man's name is Charley or Charles Meyers and was with NHRA in past years and just returned this year.

I would not jump to conclusions. There are several companies who fit the description above. And more may become interested as we continue to work on these problems.

Bruce, we both know that you and I don't always see eye-to-eye but I really appreciate you taking the time to have a look at this.
I am however going to have to take a little bit of time to formulate a "smart" answer to this subject.
Thanks again.

There are several threads that are open for debating the pros and cons of NHRA Sportsman Racing. This thread is for racers to offer their thoughts about the current state of NHRA Sportsman Racing. You are welcomed to offer your thoughts about how pleased you are with Sportsman racing. But, again, this is just for comments. I hope people will respond because we may have a chance to win some much needed support.

This is true, Charles Myers, former Stock racer and great guy. He ran GALOT media relations before moving on to work for NHRA.
