End of Stock and SuperStock Racing??

[Dick Butler]

Billy, Dont get nervous. I cannot affect NHRA. I cannot even convince you to read the concerns of those who post here. I cannot get you to have an open discussion about things "I believe" could help get more people in the stands, More sponsors, more fun.
You are correct I do not contribute to NHRA entry funds by racing a car currently. I did support THREE SS/GT cars for several years. Age and life changes have encouraged me to change my activities and direction. I still have a right to respond to questions regarding the sport. I know that without a car it is so much easier to see the issues while not paying entry. Correct, maybe it should not matter to me but having worked hard to organize, manage and run 7 or 8 TOP/SS, and later a TOP/STK events where racers spoke how much they liked it , I have some reasonable input. We did this with only a space to race after many left for the motels. Even Sponsors contributed to these races.All I have spoken to about this project would do it again in a heart beat.
Please do not take my discussions personally. These are supposed to be open to ideas from all people who have best interest of S and SS in mind.
Thank you for understanding.
" All of Stk is doing just fine". How many non racer family were in the stands? How much round money was paid? How many sponsors paid the 3rd place car? This should not be a participant only sport if it is to gain support.
