POLL: S/SS Attitudes in 2011

Mark Yacavone · 03-15-2011, 09:29 PM

Pick the option which most closely matches your current viewpoint .

1, I would support independent S/SS combos, IHRA Divisionals, Lucas Oil races ,and National events in my area. It doesn't matter to me. I just love to race S/SS.

2, My car is too valuable to race locally. I can't justify racing it unless it's for big money at National events.
(You can use this option ,even if you have not yet cashed in at The Big One, but think you are way overdue, and the next one might be it)

3, I'm addicted to Wallys.

4, I've been enhanced right to the sidelines, either for this year or permanently.

Sorry, this was supposed to be an anonymous poll. I had to edit down my choices ,and I then exceeded the 5 minutes allowed to submit it in poll form .
I'll leave it up for now , just to see what happens

Mark I'm a toss-up between 1 and 4.
I don't have any decent tracks less than 200 or so miles away
nhra took a lot of the fun out of it for me. I liked to go fast and win class, and count the contingency money (LOL)

I don't have a stocker anymore. I race in the .90 classes but I would go with #1.

#1 leaning towards #4 until my economy improves

Brett Brown · 03-16-2011, 02:00 AM

#1, but #4 could become an option.

Marvin Robinson · 03-16-2011, 02:43 AM

I'm a 1, but NHRA is pushing me toward a #4.....

I'm about to put thousands into my car to make improvements within the rules, and I love the challenge of extracting the best performance from the limitations on components, just like the Pro classes do. I just want NHRA to show the same consideration to us for the effort and $$$ it takes to be competitive... I could always spend half the money and go twice as fast in the brackets, but the strive for technical excellence would be missing.

Marvin,if that's what you're expecting I think you're going to be sorely dissapointed.I'd sit out this year.2011 is going to be a pivotal year for NHRA.
