Quote: Some of the ideas that he passed onto me that are still in the works would be more ND exposure for winners (pix etc.) per race, Championship jackets, ND coverage of points battles, BIGGER BONUS payouts, etc. There are more but it does seem to me that a momentum has returned to Class racing, once the manufactures see that NHRA are rolling so will they with payments that we all love so much. Keep following the money !!!! (that's my new saying cause I reckon that's how shyt gets done)

Bernie,I hate to sound negative,but after all the "enhancements" we've endured over the past few years now all of a sudden a light bulb went off in the heads of these highly paid
board members,and now we're going to have the red carpet rolled out for us in the form of the above quote.
Well excuse me if I sound a little dubious about what will really happen and the motivation for their concern over our well being.
Remember Abe Lincoln's saying about being fooled.
I agree that the whole system needs an overhaul,but it seems it's on our backs that the hard work and sacrifice is being made.
If the Wallys are a problem then 1 lb breaks will help.Stop giving them away for every new gimmick they can think of.Substitute plaques for anything other than direct racing activities.
Lower the postings (pay a bit less for class wins and contingency for race wins).Half a pie is better than no pie at all.That way smaller sponsors can climb aboard.
The next one is a must.Lower the "administration fees" that Glendora charges.Just
charge enought to cover actual costs.
And stop them from keeping moneys not theirs to keep.Would you like your bank keeping
your money if it didn't like how you managed your account,within the rules set forward?
Lastly,nowhere did i hear any input from the people most affected by this second coming,mainly the racers themselves.
Back to you Bernie.
