There were 626 sportsman racers at the Gators in the early 2000's and barring bad weather they always finished the races. We gave them an inch when Tom Compton took away our 4th qualifying round and now they have taken the proverbial mile. What to do now?
Yup.. I predicted this would happen, over a year ago.
So ,where do we go from here? 15 gp's all from Div. 1 ? Easy enough, huh?
Likely... National events will become a millionaire's club, exclusively.
Unlikely .. Racer will again , read the charter and tell NHRA to go and pound sand ..Doubtful..Very doubtful.
