The problem is not with the sportsman racers it is with the way the events are run and the poor use of time by NHRA. It should not take as long as it does to run the classes especially the pros.

I don't disagree but I don't think the people in Glendora care if they grow the sportsmen classes. At this point they get more wanting in than they want so they have no incentive to change, that is the only point I was making.

The problem that I have, is that NHRA keeps taking insurance money from me and I have had no incidents and after the event I don't get any reimbursement on the insurance. Why do all racers have to keep paying for insurance at every National event? At Indy it was $100. for the insurance and Gators it was $40. up above the entry fee. If NHRA wants to have you take an policy out to cover any issue they should offer a yearly insurance police with a rebate at the end of the year if no claims against you, like safe driver.
I figured everyone else was bitching, I'd join in!!!!

So let me see if I have this right........................

Texas has an entry quota of 430 sportsman, of which 80 are Top Sportsman & Dragster for a total of 350 spots for the other classes............

Las Vegas has an entry quota of 328 sportsman, of which 28 are Pro-Mod for a total of 300 spots for the other classes..........

Why will NHRA not work with the Class Racers to allow them to race or is it just a Division 7 thing????????????????????

NHRA never fails to amaze me with their stupidity......
