No Stock Eliminator at Winternationals?

[Ed Wright]

I was more impressed with top dragster and top sportsman until I learned they just bracket race once they qualify.

I first heard about this at the Mile Hi Hationals. I couldn't believe it. I have called NHRA three times asking the question and was told that the decision had not yet been made. At the 2009 Winters the biggest thing as far as the fans were concerned was the new mustang display. They were 4 deep all the way down the display all weekend long. These were not geezers either, they were younger kids wondering how they could afford to buy one of those things..I can't believe The Ford Motor Co. would stand to be excluded after all the exitment that ther cars brought to drag racing last year...As for Top Dragster and Top sportsman, most of these guys are S/G and S/C guys that have moved up so balance the quotas between these 4 classes and we can all race...As far as pit space ...Isn't this race held at the L. A. County Fair Grounds..that is like huge... make the pits bigger

THAT IS ALL...

It would be a mistake to leave out the cars that were there in the beginning. None of the Super Classes were there 50 years ago. The whole NHRA platform that we see today was built on the backs of the Stock and Super Stockers ... I hope NHRA comes to their senses, just my opinion ...

If they (NHRA) delete the Stock and /or Super Stock classes at the 2010 WinterNats, they are just slitting their own throats----just watch.......talk about ripping the heart out of this sport....Have no pity for the fools if they pull this stupid stunt. My .50 cents worth....WJ

I hate to say it but you better get used to it. They dont care about any of you guys and girls except for your money from memberships, numbers, certifications, etc. They KNOW you are not going anywhere. Oh a few might quit and say screw it but the majority will stick around. The fact that stock and later S/S was there from the beginning dosent mean poop to them.They are looking for a show and not having to have a lot of overhead (Tech People). Not to mention all the bitching about blown Mustangs and HP ratings. Its a matter of stream lining the program.

Not Impressed.

If this turns out to be true, I guess I can save my money and also stay home.

Now if this turns out to be true, how about a combo stock/superstock race
at Fontana's drag strip that same weekend?

Sooner than we think

As stated in August in the Bogacki DQ thread

In 5 years I'm sure it won't matter as the bracket Super Stock. Stock and .90 cars will be gone from the NHRA National Event circuit. All you have to do is pay attention to IHRA's (Top Dragster & Top Sportsman) newer classes

if this is true it is a "testing of the waters" from nhra to see if the spectators care and how much we bitch...
but once again we will take it, we will never get together and boycott a race, we will never stand up to nhra...we are just a bunch of wimps bending over whenever they ask with our pants down. we just love it that way.
