National Opens are definitely the best place to set a record. Division 7 National opens at Sacramento and Fallon are in June so the weather generally doesn't cooperate. Would love to see the Sacramento National Open or Maybe a Bakersfield National open the weekend before the Winternationals.

With the announcement today of the possibility of revising the National event schedule moving the first race to Gainesville there would be time to get this on the schedule without conflicts. |

A National Open right around thanksgiving or later in Sonoma would be killer! With a big Baro, minus big DA till noon and 100-400 DA the rest of the day- Records would fall! |

The Sport of Class racers was set on a particular pentacle of Ideals. Most of which is toGO FAST! Just like the Spirit of JULY 4th and America We should be internally motivated to Race and be the Fastest! Handicap racing is necessary but SECONDARY NOT PRIMAL! This Sport owes us nothing but a fair playing field! Suggesting there's "no motivation" is extrinsic motivation plagued by "what do you owe me" gambling mentalities. This is what's wrong with Super Stock and Stock in my humble opinion! Why should NHRA feed a bunch of hooligans with their hands out! Ultimately they are giving us exactly what we're asking for...a gamblers race. Lets hold this sport to a higher standard about what we want it to be. Hence this starts from inside US not what NHRA WILL PAY! What I see is happening is the classic denigration of moral fiber to "getting paid" instead of the Glory of being the Best! This is what ultimately whats wrong with this Great sport and our great Country! Wally and George are both rolling in their graves! Stand UP be accountable! Hold TRUTH above Money! Keep the integrity! Most of all... God Bless America and NHRA!

I am a commercial construction superintendent and work about 60 hours a week and most of the time I am out of town working all week. No retirement in sight for me yet. Everything is just too expensive and I am not ready to give up on racing and traveling. i plan to battle this old age thing for as long as I can.
