If an advocate could be found - what would you say?

When the top pro stars of the sport get ignored when they have a concern or suggestion, why would anyone reading this expect that anything they have to say matters.

I can't hit the "like" button because I don't "like" it. But I do "agree" with it.

Agree that trying to make a case for increasing quotas before the nhra is a waste of time. But nhra has shown over the years that it mostly listens to money. That's why we need to get the word out to the major sponsors. nhra will never be able to get rid of all Sportsman Racers and legitimately hold on to it's not for profit status. But they can continue to whittle down the National event quotas to the point that it chases off most of the racers. Then throw up their hands and say " what the hey they wondered off."

Sportsman Racers are a financially robust group and have the where-with-all to fill races with quotas of 90 cars per Category at most National Events. Nothing is easy when dealing with the nhra (even for the Pros) but I don't think it would be impossible to think that a major sponsor could require a certain number of Sportsman Racers be admitted to any event they sponsor. Not all Sponsors are created equal and some may have no interest in working with us but at least one wants to hear us out.
