Larry,

I can only guess why you started this thread. I will assume you feel NHRA does not live up to the words they print.

I would like to point out there are more Stock Eliminator racers registered with competition numbers now then there have ever been in NHRA. They may not all race on a regular basis, but they are racers.

It seems to me the NHRA still commands there loyalty. Although NHRA is not a perfect sanction body, it still seems its the place to race. I am supporter of NHRA and I do not apologize for it. I know they are not perfect and they have made decisions that I was not happy with. Until I own my own sanctioning body and know what it takes to run and deal with the largest racing membership in the motorsports world, I will have to give them the benefit that they are doing the best they can.

I know I am not popular with some of the members of Class Racer when it comes to how badly they feel NHRA treats stk and ss and how it is run. I do know that its a small minority that are the most negative. I receive emails from members of Class Racer everyday on how they are so tired of the negativity about NHRA. They don't understand why the members that complain so much still go to NHRA races. They also do understand why the people that complain the most race the least or not at all. I tell them some racers are frustrated and I do sympathize with them but nothing in this world is perfect, find what's good about NHRA and enjoy. If you can not find any enjoyment then don't support NHRA.

I have gone on long enough, all I can say is I enjoy racing with NHRA and will continue to do so. If that makes me a suck up to NHRA, so be it. I could not be so bitter and so angry about a sanctioning body that was unfair to me and continue to race with them. Why some racers have such distain for NHRA and still go to there races is beyond me.

Larry you get your new engine done yet?

Ed, are your going to Atco, its a NHRA race you know. I want to talk to you, nothing important, just some bs.
