Glad I sold my stocker---(not really)

Stock/Super Stock future will not be found in "NHRA Pro Racing", it will be found in "NHRA". (Or other sportsman-promoting organizations.) Considering the new deal is a for-profit entity, and that sportsman racing has generated 20% of the revenue but cost 80% of the management expense for the last 15 years, what do you think their business strategy will be? This is not rocket science, this is math.

The best that sportsman racers can do is change the climate of sportsman racing to be one of promotion, fun-excitement, and co-operation. Maybe some new racing programs that will have more crowd appeal would help. (Thanks Dick, Dave Ley, Pat, the U/SA guys and others who have shown some spark there!) There will be no future jousting with windmills or destroying the sandbox.
