D1 NHRA Boycott?

Tom DePascale · 04-12-2009, 08:41 AM

I agree something needs to be done or we will be forced out,maybe this is the beginning of the end for sportsman racing @ National Events. Could it be that NHRA is slowly trying to get rid of us,1st by limit of cars & classes @ races,then by raising prices to compansate for lesser car count ,less employees @ track to maintain same profit margin. I though this is why they set up "THE SPORTSMAN ADVISORY COMMITEE" but if NHRA does not want to lissen then guess what boys & girls as much as I love to go to National Events I'll go back to bracket racing on Saturday Night @ Atco !

Atco is a better pay out anyway.
Notice the signature below S/Pro is 1st.
$65.00 to enter $2000.00 to win @ Capitol Raceway in Maryland
And you can run the stop if you want.

Maybe quit sending them membership money as well as a boycott? How big a dent would that put in their budget?

Or send them a duplicate copy of your entry to any othr sanctioning body's event you attend with a note, "this is because of your treatment of sportsman racers, I won't be at your event this weekend."

Hurts local track owners and promoters if you boycott NHRA events? Maybe they need to rethink their association with the NHRA
