why would you do it..........

Turttle;
I sometimes worder the exact same thing. I'm not knocking anyone that chooses to run NHRA national events, but I do wonder sometimes. It's surely not something I have any desire to do. Just look at the recent events that have taken place at Gainesville, Houston and now St. Louis. I'll just be content to run the 6 LODRS races here in Div. 2 and make the most fun out of it that I can.

One thing I always will remember is this. Serveral years ago I traveled alot with a friend of mine that runs a stocker, and we ended up unexpectantly at the IHRA national event held at Rockingham the first year of Bader taking over IHRA. I will never forget seeing Bader standing at the front of the staging lanes, shaking hands with EVERY racer that came through, and thanking them for being there. Would you ever see this with NHRA? I believe pigs will fly first.

JMHO
