That may well be true, but I think NHRA would do everybody a favor if they put such proposed changes to a vote by the racers that could be affected. NHRA has records that show who has a current NHRA Stock or S/S competition number or licence, they also have records that show which of those racers have actually competed in any NHRA National or LODRS events in recent times. Considering that to enter a National event, you have to enter online, usinng a Email adress, they have that info too. Sooo..., how hard would it be to inform these active racers about proposed changes to their Eliminator? It seems that NHRA often changes things based on "consultation with a number of Stock racers", well they have never asked me, or any of other racers that I know. I believe that when the big step of allowing ported heads in S/S many years ago, that was decided by a vote of racers. Personally, if this procedure had been in place the past 10 years ago, I would have voted against almost every "proposal", "enhanchment", "improvement", or change that has been brought in during that time. Maybe the majority would have voted differently than myself, but at least I would have been able to make my opinion known by such a ballot.
