Re: Manufactures Points for 2011 GM Cars
If a manufacture want's to play the game it forces them to really help the racers just go back and look how Olds played and how many Stock & Super Stock racers they help whic forced Pontiac to help, Chevy really nevwr figure that out!

Re: Manufactures Points for 2011 GM Cars
Maybe a lot of you don't understand the Manufacturer's Cup and the points.
Points are given to current year Stock, Super Stock and Pro Stock cars for the manufacturer throughout the year at both national and divisional races. The manufacturer with the most points at the end of the year wins the NHRA Manufacturer;s Cup. In the Olds days, this was an important tool for advertising and pride within the corporation. And Olds cared, a lot. Won the Manufacturer's Cup more than any other, as well as more years in a row. And, of coarse, it was good for us sportsman racers, as the people at Olds understood that stock and super stock points were as good as Pro Stock points ....and cost a hell of a lot less to get. Hense, the support we, as sportsman racers received. Could be that way again, if the corporations could only see it. These were good years for the sportsman racer. Great memories for me. FJ Smith |

Re: Manufactures Points for 2011 GM Cars
FJ is correct, and the fact that the NHRA is not following their own rules and diluting the Manufacturing Points chase is just another example of how it's all about the money for them. How does it affect Stock and Super Stock Gump? It emboldens the NHRA to continue to just do whatever they feel will bring in the big $. Rules be damned. It's already affected us. Do the new Mustangs and Challengers ring a bell? Jim
