Re: NHRA Stikes Again................
 

NHRA, like most big business, is probably run by lawyers and accountants,
They are operating a business and are looking to profit.
What should we say to Glendora?
We don`t seem to have much juice...
But, I`m for finding a rep.from D1.

IHRA isn't dead, might be on life support but it's not dead. For those who enjoy racing and the atmosphere, IHRA is perfectly fine. And it won't cost and arm and half a leg to enter and the payouts are pretty close. Has a lot to do with location, being in NC, I'm surrounded by just as many IHRA tracks as NHRA.

What really surprises me is that it's not like
Vegas is short of pit space. At many tracks
this is a big issue but not there for sure.

Ask Jeff Teuton how this worked out several years ago?:mad:

Re: NHRA Stikes Again................
 

Unfortunately people that want to race at national events are going to have to go more points races. It's a bad deal that NHRA has come up with. They care nothing about sportsman racers, but they are also trying to keep there own deal from dying as well.

Maybe they need to put aside s race with no AFHS and run class at it. Give out Wally trophies. 1 per division, then keep Indy the big race.

Actually it is a listed not for profit organization. 501c(6) I believe.

Actually NHRA has not been a "not for profit" organization for many years. Everyone thinks it is but it is not. It is also self insured. Jim

Re: NHRA Stikes Again................
 

NHRA has been steadily reducing the number of sportsman racers at the national event level for the past 5-6 years. I am not sure what level they want to get the final number down to. I am only able to go to 1 or two national events per year due to my work schedule so I guess that means I probably wont be able to get in from here on. I don't know the underlying reasoning for reducing the sportsman competitors. By the looks of the recent event car counts stock and super stock have been filling up their quotas. The super categories, comp, gas have not been filling up at some of the events. It looks like they may be loosing some of their interest in the national events. Most of the super gas and comp guys are bracket racers as well. Top sportsman and Top Dragster number are down too. Comp eliminator is slowly dwindling in numbers. Comp does not have a quota for their class. NHRA should look at those numbers and see who is supporting the program and reward those classes with more entries. I also believe the racers in the home division should get the first chance to enter the nationals in their home division. Champion and other provisional entries should never be counted against the quota no matter when the actually enter. Just my .02
