NHRA Creates New Program for 2011 Super Stock and Stock Class Eliminations

[X-TECH MAN]

It sounds like an off shoot of having WAY TO MANY CLASSES to begin with. All those bye runs and 2 car class runs have come back to bite you in your azz. Isnt it time to wake up and realize this in today economy? The manufacturers cannot afford to keep paying for a gazillion different class winners when you dont have to run anyone. They are in business to make money selling parts and services and not give it away when you make a bye run win with parts that you have had on your car bought several years ago. Either change the system or just run for the winner and runner up monies avaliable like the .90 class guys. The .90 and Comp guys dont recieve any class win money or Wally's either for qualifying. They have to WIN the eliminator.

Terry if the manufacturers don't give the money away it goes to nhra.
SO what's your point. Are You Lobbying to make compton richer, or for his legal defence fund?
This will drop the car counts worst than the go fast racing did in the seventies. And there will be no more.

Can they make anything worth doing any worse ? Seems all they do is pile more s--t on S&SS, how could anyone think this latest smoke and mirrors will fix anything. Just more crap to get you off the real problems.

This is one main reason that there are less manufacturers posting anything. The manufacturer has already paid NHRA a lot of money to be on the list to post monies for a class win. A lot do it thru their own in house programs these days. NHRA has screwed themselves and the racers.

Correcto!!! But then I always thought that winning the eliminator was the real reason for showing up in the first place.
