Stock Suggestion # 1

RJ Sledge · 09-08-2014, 10:44 AM

A lot of good ideas have been posted, some better than others, but all impressive if for nothing more than the thought process used to define.

The ones I most agree with, are the ones that keep it simple and use mostly common sense to address the issue at hand.

What is wrong with just placing the New Cars in a Class by themselves??

Probably because NHRA has an agenda that wants to replace the old cars with the new.......? You think?

Why?

Because the Factories don't make new 69 Camaros, 68 Road Runners or 67 Fairlanes, and you can't buy them down at "Wide Track Town Motor Company"!

I am sure that most everybody realizes that, just making my point.

New Cars are the Future with NHRA, and to get the Corporate monies, you have to play the game.

I would like to see something done that is a quick and easy fix, most New Car people won't agree with me, as they have bought in to the same mind set as NHRA. Hey this is a Money Deal.....You know the saying...".Hey it ain't personal Sonny.....its just business"!!

Try to remember the "3 biggest lies" joke and just add the New Car Politicians statements to the list. Funny, I don't think they race old cars anymore....I might be wrong.....

I own both a New Car (2010 Mustang that myself and Kirk Morgan built ourselves from scratch) and an Old Car (67 Fairlane 390 combo slowly going together), so we are not biased one way or the other.

Some of the solutions that were posted seemed a little complicated for me. Kind of like Common Core Math equations!! Can't imagine what NHRA thought.

Something simple is the answer along with common sense.

Only problem is that with the turn outs at INDY for Old Cars and New Cars alike, NHRA may have already made a decision. In other words it may be too late. If all the Old Cars said "We are not going to attend any National Events.....NHRA would probably just say......Oh!..OK...Have a nice day!!

JMO

I still luv everybody, Old Car and New car alike.
