Something like this is the only way to get new people in our sport. Over time this will be a good thing for our sport.

Just exactly how many new people have the Drag Paks and Cobra Jets accounted for? Pendarvis? Teuton? Holzman? etc.....
I am new to this and I race stock eliminator. I do not race a new Drag Pak or Cobra Jet. I paid a lot of money for myself to get a car that was competitive and had already been factored to death. It was the most economical way for me to participate.
I got a half a year into racing before the Cobra Jets hit, then come the Drag Paks. I am new blood! I am considering selling my stuff and going back to other interests since the NHRA has not held up their end of the deal in honoring the spirit and intent of Stock Eliminator.
IHRA is out of the picture since there aren't enough tracks in my area. Again, I am the new blood and I am leaving (or in the process of it). I really had my hopes up that Indy would wake up the NHRA and they would reclassify the cars into the Factory Experimental class which I think is pretty neat.
For the final time in case someone missed it. I am the future of the NHRA and I am leaving. I won't let the door hit me in the ***.
