You might not agree with this but so what, I want it like this! Why? Well just because. Who cares if you think it's not fair! After all we have other things we could be "crying" to NHRA about don't we? I think we can change the purses from paying only $1000 to win to $5000 if we just concentrate on that and screw the small stuff we can get that done real soon!

Now, obviously the above post is not how I really feel but it makes as much sense as your answer to Toby's post and the other reasons you have posted on this subject. Thanks for playing. Try again soon. Jim

The system as it is now works just fine for me.And I'm among the maybe 5% of the guys who leave first almost every elimination run.I've done alright with the spectre of the red light rule hanging over my head now for the last 11 years running stock.Maybe if some of you guys concentrated more on your starting line abilities,instead of finding ways to
"improve" your chances of winning,you would go more rounds and this bull$hit problem
wouldn't be so much of a problem.Maybe if the non racing members here found another
outlet for their crusades they would get up in the morning without thinking someone pi$$ed in their cornflakes.Right Mr. Bill and John the Shadow?
