Nhra strikes again - must read for stk/ss at ned nat event

Not to start a big deal however -- I received a phone call this AM from a reliable source who told me that NHRA has invited 10-15 X275 car's to run on Friday/Saturday June 2/3 at the National Event at New England Dragway in Epping NH - I am not sure of the details and wondering if something similar may be happening at the Gator's or any other National Event -- I know we need fresh blood in the sport however is this what was the plan when the car count for Stock & Super Stock was reduced - I am just curious if anyone else has heard anything along this same line -

She wants a Wally....WHY NOT! They give them out at Walmart now for buying a 12pk of Monster Energy Drink don't they? I know they gave them out at my home track this past weekend for a Summit race so why not these quasi street racers. The planet is on a new axis my friends.

Let me see here now.. I have to ask myself what it is I am missing here.

I for one, as well as most of you here have spent the better part of my life racing stock.

I love the racing the people and being around racers I have watched for years and new comers as well.

We all for the most part have seen things we may, or may not approve of in regards to all sorts of things that happen in racing. I think that keeps it interesting.

However, after spending countless hours & dollars pouring a driving passion in to our class racing.

I find it disheartening to be put on a 65 or so, car quota and needing to have the appropriate amount of "grade points" to attend a national event,
only to have the, top folks in charge, "invite" a few "other racers" to attend.

It seems to be a bit of a slap in the face to the faithful disciples of stock and super stock racing as well as all the other sportsman class racers.
