stops coming in everyone weekend ...The little guy continues to carry the burden, paying more & getting less ... It's about Choices & being treated Fair and having Fun ... The weather just makes it Worst, but we are still the Customer & control where we spend our money ???
Maybe it's time NHRA makes some changes, for the better......?

Dave,
You could not have said it better, but let us face the fact; everybody, for years, has been complaining about how NHRA does not support the sportsman racers...and what does everybody do about it?.....Continue to support, spend money, get pushed out, and then everyone else has to hear about it on someway or another (mostly here). How many times did you touch a hot stove when you were little until you realized it hurt and you were not going to do it again????
It is never going to change!
This year, as I did race more than I usually do, it made me realize how nice IHRA really is to the sportsman racer; able to make a lot of runs down the track with the double race format, eat food-drink beer-spend time with the family, and have fun with almost all the racers that WERE NOT complain about being treated like this!!!....
I do not mean this post to be a "marketing" or a commercial push for IHRA because I do disagree with the 1/8th mile deals but I can tell you that I have not been pushed out or treated unfairly with them ever! I wasactually hoping to race more NHRA DIVISIONALS this year, but the more and more I see with the format and the so called hospitality NHRA shows to the sportsman racer...I will pass!
Just my 2 cents.........
