NHRA has taken a nonchalant attitude about S/SS just like societies attitude towards proper attire at certain events. Like when people used to dress in suites and ties at events and now people show up in T-shirts and blue jeans. There used to be a day that it was impressive that you set a record. Now it's kind of a oh hum who cares. I'm not saying that the racer that sets a record shouldn't be proud of the accomplishment, but NHRA just sort of kicked it to the curb with not publishing it in ND and not making a special point in the publication.
We pay our membership fees. With my membership to NHRA, I expect them to do their jobs such as managing racing for a fair playing field with keeping to the rule book, tear downs and inspections of vehicles. Also, giving racers that deserve acknowledgment their dues and having it posted in ND and not as an after thought. Casey Miles 248H Stock |

At this point in time, "WE" aren't considered paying "Members" anymore, we're considered "customers"!

I really think that the NHRA needs to have a "Stocker News" section on their website. Class racing is one of the last remaining Sportsman performance assets that the NHRA has. They are wasting it.
I say, give us 5 points for setting the record (Maximum two times a year).

The only thing preventing me from setting a National Record is that last half of a second.Still looking for it.
