Class winners Decal check?

[7423]

Thought I would get back to the REAL topic here.................the class winners who have just gotten boned in Charlotte. Is this the first race this year that had class run offs? There was a Jegs Sports Nat race recently, were those class winners paid for their decals? Wonder in the eliminator winners today will be paid for decals and free manufacturer advertising on national TV and live on ESPN?

A while back there was a lot of heated debate on here about nhra's newest enhancement (they actually wrote the word).
That they would only be paying class winners at the 3 sportsnationals and Indy. They also announced they would be no more class singles, that the single cars would run each other for the class win. They also supposedly set up a "national class performer award" that was supposed to be worth more than $10,000 . They were only going to count the 8 races that didn't pay contingency money (best 3 out of 5). But they added the sportsnationals the same week as the first race.
Since then there hasn't been a word. Not a peep about the postings, Not a peep about the standing. Nothing.
I saw the contingency listing for class in stock eliminator, and thought maybe there was another change.
That is what this thread was about. But the little people could not resist a chance for some personal BS.
This is why stock and superstock are doomed. Not only do the racers that have nhra's ear want to change things to benefit them. they also want to see others hurt ("no more free rides" etc.).
I loudly voiced my opinion and was called a crybaby, and that I didn't deserve to win class because there was nobody in the other lane. And that I was taking up a spot that a "real" race car could occupy. And trust me I could run every race even if it was only the top 16 qualifiers

You should get 2 trophys, 1 for the class win and 1 for racing a car in a class that no one else has the nuts to compete in. "Taking up the spot of a real race car", that's absurd! Your car was built from the same rule book, with parts from the same contingency sponsors and teched to be legal by the same offficals just like their "real race car".

Oh, and one more thought..................On Sunday you will use the same shoe polish, flip for a lane with the same quarter, go to fuel check and the scales and have a beer after you win the whole thing just like you would if you had a "real race car" !!!
