Let's Start The Count

tim worner · 04-12-2009, 10:44 AM

Let's start a count on who is not going to Indy. I don't know how to start one of those poll charts so whoever can let's get one going.

There was a boycott last year in IHRA Pro Stock.SOMEBODY will always show up.They will drive down the track on a "bye" run in the final round and WIN.
I don't know what the answer is,but boycott is not one of them.
Maybe EVERYBODY should just go to INDY and create so much traffic that fans can't get to the track because there are so many rigs blocking traffic that nobody can get to the main gate?

I don't expect everyone to not enter Indy. But a list of racers, by the number, who would normally go say they are not going to enter this year. All classes not just stock/super stock. This year it will be $390 to enter for car&driver. Times how many are not going will show the $ loss to NHRA for our little protest. Down a 100 entries=$39,000. How about down 300=$117,000. Now are they going to generate that much more money buy raising ChassiCert ect. And remember this is just one race. We are only looking @ car and driver not crew,concessions,tee shirts,ect.

Tim, I started a poll in the competition section. Only people that currently race can vote. When you vote, your name will be seen. No hiding, everyone will know how you feel. Here is the link.
