I believe that NHRA does not know how to make things better. I believe that they are running on there history and not trying to plan to make the future better by reaching out to todays generation. By that I mean promoting the local tracks for there bracket and test and tune races. Educate the novice racer that they can run on the same track as the big names in the sport. I don't believe that there is any other motorsport where you can race on the same track as a professional and be a complete novice? As far as the sportsman racers are concerned start taking steps to help us save money and treat us with respect by comunicating with us. Decrease the length of some races by a full day. Lower entry fees, provide a racers appreciation lunch, promote early arival fan ticket sales. etc. With Stock and SS, start a campain to make SMART decisions to help promote true performance racing and lower cost. Example promote a gas was between companies, the lower price better performer wins. Tire wars etc. Extend seat belt inspections to 5yrs. Good healthy competition between manufactures. Put a speak valve spring pressure at 120pds seat and ? open. This would lower cost and decrease performance which would lower factored HP and place cars in different classes, maybe. These are just a couple ideas that I believe could help promote our racing.
