Warren has never worried about "politics" and I can appreciate that. What he said is the absolute truth.
Money that could make for safer Sportsman racing is being spent on more salaries for the NHRA Board of Directors (check out Dallas Garnders salary, $300K for attending Board meetings?).
The tracks are stuck, if they fix the drainage and not the Pro shutdown or fancy towers for VIPs, they risk losing the event.

His comment about NHRA "scalping" spectators is so true. 1/2 full bleachers all year and prices go UP, not down. Go to an ADRL event, they have to shut highways down and the stands and pits are jammed and yet.... not a Force car in sight! Just good promotions, good racing and Free Admission..

I haven't heard anything about Comp but it wouldn't surprise me if they took the "hood scoop cars" out of Super Stock and put them in with Comp. THen put Super Stock and Stock together to get the fields back to 128 instead of 40 to 50 like some of the National Events. DON'T PANIC.....I have not read this anywhere, just from conversations with racers in Stock and Super Stock, they feel somehting might be coming with the small turnouts, Stock isn;t even full at INDY yet??? wow!

Congrats to Little Fletch on a Stock win!!
