Our closest Class Eliminator race besides this one is Denver, which is a 1200 mile 1 way tow…..
NHRA just gives lip service to the Sportsman Racer and no support…..
If NHRA cared about us they would support us and not discourage us from racing…
Stock Eliminator covers 66 different classes & Super Stock has 110 different and diverse classes…………With a quota of 75 how does this work???????
Could anybody explain to me how HNRA supports the class racer with quotas that prohibit HEADS UP CLASS ELIMNATOR racing…….
Why would NHRA put on a race for class type racers and NOT have a high enough quota to allow racers, who support NHRA with their $$$$$$, a place to race??????
I just don’t get it……
But again I forgot that we are just filler for the PRO show…….
But there is a bright side…….
With the PRO’s dropping like flies we might end up with all they have got????????????
It might become a brave new world with Stock & Super Stock as the stars as we once were…….
It could happen or we will just watch as NHRA self-destructs under its own weight and stupidity......................

The working guy is all but out, especially in stock eliminator, it may very well take a grade 5 to enter the world finals.The working sportsman who supports the NHRA and the manufactures, engine builders, and speed shops are asked to take in some cases to take four days off to go to a points race and five of them at that, they use their vacation,sick days and even worse may lose their jobs.
