[X-TECH MAN]

I wont make a suggestion again because to many on here have self serving attitudes and I will most likely catch hell for this posting but the point is....the manufactures just can NOT afford to keep paying for the large number of classes combined with the number of NHRA (and other events and other eliminators .....there are more than NHRA races out there being contested for sponsor pay outs) races during a season. Single class runs or not. The problem is in the numbers of seperate pay outs with little or no return for the sponsor. The manufactures post for other eliminators besides stock and S/S. That plus the cost of the "Slush Fund" as one suggested NHRA charges for admin. fee's. WHY would any company want to be in on this bleeding of funds? Its almost the same deal as the Govt spending and the teachers unions. It has to be cut back or its over. The good times are over for awhile. No more freebies ! I know you still dont like the suggestion of less classes but what is the alternitive? Combine some of the classes, get the HP factors corrected ( a biggie), eliminate a few of the less populated and unpopular classes but try to combine the ones dropped to give the racers in those classes a place to play so the manufacturers can afford to become a profitable company again while being part of the family of NHRA and IHRA racng. I doubt NHRA will pay anymore out of their pockets to support our/your habbits. If anything they have made it harder for the little guy to compete with all of the so called "Enhancements". My 2 1/2 cents !
