If an advocate could be found - what would you say?

Bruce,
Thank you for starting this thread,

My 2 cents,

80 Entries to each event in all sportsmen classes except Comp, T/D and T/S.
64 Qualified fields in each category.
S/G, S/St, S/C can qualify on ET, RT, or Package.
Stk, SS qualify off indexes. (Performance)
Extra 20 entries in each might take a extra 30-60 minutes on Thursday or Friday.
5 Classes X20 Entries @ $300 ought to cover cost for extra hour.

Random 2 Teardowns in SS and Stock per race to be drawn from #'s 1-80 by NHRA , U qualify that # you get tore down. (Equal enforcement for all, not just the performance folks, If you've CHOSE to race Stock or SS it is part of the game.)

Run order: STK, (I don't love being first but hey), S/ST, S/C, SS, SG
When S/St not competing move S/C up behind STK.


Gotta couple more ideas but going back to work.......

And what do you do with the average guy in the middle of the pack who loves racing but seldom if ever wins and his car is not low in the index and has no idea how to tear his motor down and put it back together when he is randomly picked for teardown. How is that fair or right?

all this is really about is a few old men who are no longer competitive, that think they are entitled to compete at the national events of their choice despite not supporting the LODRS, putting the work in and accumulating the grade points required to enter that want their voice aka complaints heard and acted upon. Good luck, it ain't going to happen nor should it. The system in place works just fine.

A racer accepts the possibility of being torn down when he/she enters an event and shows up to race. It applies to every one of us - no matter how rare tear downs are now days. The potential for being torn down is one of the defining characteristics of Stock and Super Stock.

Bruce you can't be torn down when you haven't raced in 4 of the last 6 seasons.

Does anybody think this guy has contributed anything of value to this thread? He's seems bent on humiliating himself and his son. Never seen anything like this before.

Scott,
Thank you for your thoughtful post.

Here's the bottomline line Bruce, you nor anyone else complaining in this and the other threads speaks for NHRA Sportsman racers, least of which me. It should come as no surprise that not 1 TOP 10 points racer in any class, in any division has joined in to support your crusade. No one of any merit cares about your opinion or your plight, you don't race!
