Hell no. Nationals are one of the main reasons I got into class racing. We need that crowd to grow our exposure. We can't walk before crawling. We can't ditch the crowd before they've really found out what we are all about. Is there any crowd at the current Sportsnationals? I do agree with Class at each event and ditch these quotas but we need to work with NHRA on this.

I'd advocate moving Stock, Super Stock, Comp, etc. out of the National Events.
Instead, have every division hold a Sportsman National event. The Sportsman racers would be the show, not the filler. There could be a World Champion crowned based on points earned at these Sportsman National event, class eliminations could be run at every one of these Sportsman National events, no ridiculous quotas, etc, etc.
Way more on the 'Plus' side of the paper than the 'Negative'.
