I've been doing this off and on for nearly 45 years, I've street raced, bracket raced, super comp raced, and for the last two years have been working on a project to possibly begin racing again... In that time I have watched the price of racing continue to climb, in the last year alone prices on most of the parts I'm buying have gone up a minimum of 20%... Some parts reaching the realm of unobtainium... And yet as entry fees have increased, and what you get for that is gone down in value, the payouts have remained the same for the last what, 30 years?... As this has happened, the NHRA has become more and more "Top Heavy" in management. We as members should not be considered "Customers", but rather stockholders... This is not peculiar to S/SS, but applies to all the sportsman racers... I hope Mr. Grimm is serious about making things better for the racers, I also don't think he has the power to do anything about the stuff at the top of the organization that is the source of all the anguish of the way many perceive they are being treated. He's going to have to have a thick skin to deal with this crowd, and understand where everyone is coming from. I wish him the best in this endeavor, and hope he can help the Class Racing be more enjoyable to everyone and not let it become just another bracket race. I will weigh in on the original topic of what can be done to make S/SS better, (at least what I think I would like to see) in another post as this one has gotten long and somewhat off topic of original post. |
