opinion, assumption at best, a lie at worst. But again, NHRA National events were never about sportsman racers nor are they what puts spectators in the stands.

Just some thoughts. It would be nice even with the quota's for a National Events anyone with a grade point of six or more could get in as long as they entered during the six grade point time line. Why not also open quota's for one class at each National event. The events that have stock class or super stock class open up to 128. Other events open quota's for the rest of sportsman racing one class at each event. I still think they miss the boat on marketing sportsman classes. Today social media is king in marketing. How much would it cost to have someone market our classes threw social media. As most that know me I started a Burger business 4 years ago in a location that was a Friendly's. They went out of business in this location. In this town of only 24,000 people there is already 2 Wendy's 2 Mc Donald's a Five Guys and a Burger King along with another burger place that has been open for 40 years. Everyone told me I was nuts and the last thing this town needed was another burger place. I marketed the heck out of this place threw every way possible. Last yr we did 1.3 million in sales and this year we project to be close to 1.5 .. My point is if I didn't work as hard as I did to market it I would have been out of business. Why would anyone object to having sportsman classes marketed threw every means possible to see where it could go. Ed I agree the local events like Divisional's are good and the NHRA people that we know and see at these events are great and do a really good job. I also agree with you that everything including sportsman racing and drag racing in general has an expiration date. But why would anyone object to try and do anything we can do to extend the end and make what we already have even greater. BP
