running our sport into the toilet.

The letter is very thoughtful and professional, unfortunately it will fall on deaf ears. I work with corp. america
in NYC everyday, and one thing I have learned is action is the only thing that brings change. If most racers did not attend National/divisional events for even a half a season it would send notice to the NHRA.
Of course this cannot happen because some racers do this for a living and most racers will complain and still pre enter events. IHRA may be small compared to NHRA but if racers want to race (we all love racing),
then race locally or race only IHRA for half a season and see the results.

Great letter Ed. I too was concerned about the lack of mention of sportsman racers. Unfortunately that's the world we live in. The little guys always seem to get shorted. It's not right and I don't like to accept it, but... However, I don't agree with you about the lack of anything being done with racer input. There were changes made with input from the SRAC. I have to agree that not everything was accepted, but some is better than nothing. I also have to agree that the role of the SRAC has somewhat diminished over the year, but I'm not sure we need to give up.

John, It sounds like it's time for you to do another meeting and follow-up article with NHRA officials and selected racers and sponsors as you have done in the past. Your articles were a great tool in facing off with NHRA, in a publicized format, on important issues and keeping the challenges involved in sportsman drag racing in the public eye

These last two posts come from two good men with some insightful thoughts. Just wish they could do more......
