Its coming ! Just as I posted in the past. It will no doubt take awhile but do not be surprised when Stock and Super Stock no longer exists.

We are not the show, just the support group and the bill payers.

Would be interested to see how the bills get paid when there are no Sportsman racers there! Entry fees, and tickets for crew, friends and family members have to enter into their brain dead decisions sooner or later. ???

The race would not work without sportsman .The pits would look bare Remember there are only 60 to 70 pros

Don, do some quick math for us....how would insurance go down on sportsman races compared to "National" type races?

A bunch the type of fuel is one issue that causes the increase in insurance plus types of cars .plus I suspect if a company puts out a request to bid the cost may go down

I'm NOT a hater. In fact I hope I am very wrong but a lot of you can not see the forest for the trees. There are not enough REAL sportsman cars being allowed in to even have class run offs at most races this coming year. Plenty of S/C, S/G, Top Sportsman, Top dragster and now the S/ST cars with little to no inspections. Its turned into a bracket race !

That's funny. Guess you didn't look at the schedule. Stock, Super Stock, Super Comp and Super Gas ARE THE ONLY SPORTSMAN CLASSES NOT!!! CUT FROM ANY NATIONAL EVENT. Those 4 classes are the foundation of NHRA. Without them there is no Professional NHRA.

And as far as quotas go. Have you seen the tow rigs these days? There isn't room for more cars. WE did that....not NHRA. I have a 39ft rv with a 28ft trailer and my crap is small in the pits compared to a 40ft toter and 40ft stacker with a 15ft wide awning off one side. Now go back to trucks with open trailers where you pit off the back of the trailer....a quota of 45 stockers turns into 90. Again.... WE as racers did that to the quotas. Has nothing to do with limiting the sportsman racer. NHRA might be stupid but they ain't dumb.
