What is the National Record for a small or large tire shootout car?????

Is there a National points list for small & large tire shootout cars??????

Will small & big tire shootout cars have a National Champion??????

How many grade points do shootout cars require for entry into a National Event???????

Do small & large tire shootout cars also have oil down penalties?????

Why are the scoreboards blank, without ET or MPH, for small & big tire shootout cars???????

Why is there discount ticket code (S17BODDIE) for small & big tire shootout cars??????

Best of all...

Do small & large tire shootout cars get Wallys??????

What a load of crap to recognize these cars as real NHRA Racecars....

Just my thoughts on the rudderless ship known as the NHRA.....

Bob I understand your frustration. I'm 56 years old and I do race small tire class at a local level with minimal success.
NHRA wrote a letter to Justin Shearer ( Big Chief) about how Nhra was not a active participant in the shenanigans on Street Outlaw TV show. Now Nhra has seen a cash cow and re-thought their position. I agree a National event is not a place for these cars as it makes it harder for class racers to enter the event and take up valuable pit space. All racers need points to enter a national event and not have a select group just drive in without paying their dues. I'm sure NHRA looks at what brings in the money and not look into helping loyal racers and classes.
