I would love for a .90 guy or gal to post a thread about “let’s limit the Stock & SS cars” at National Events. This site would explode and people would be throwing rocks at each other. Seriously, does it matter what we race? Unless it’s Indy the stands are empty for pretty much all Sportsman racing except maybe the Factory Stock guys. We honestly need to support each other no matter what you run, just be glad we have places to race and cars to race with. In the past week here on the EC we’ve had one track close and another discontinue its bracket program. Did NHRA drop the ball on limiting the et’s and speeds on the .90 cars...yes but, it’s too little, too late. You put sponsor dollars in front of NHRA and they grab it, so when you have a throttle stop company who wants to give cash for running their products, they go for it because when that cash isn’t used...where does it go (I know where it goes). We’re a product of our own demise, people forget that the goal of what we do is 8.90, 9.90 or 10.90...the win light doesn’t come on if you go 180mph in SG, we’ve just made that the “norm” if you want to win in the .90 classes and in the process have forced people out of the sport and out of .90 racing because of the cost.

I know one thing, don’t take a boat ride with Bob, because if the ship is sinking, he’s bailing and leaving us all to drown!
