Houston Sportsman cancelled

[nickh]

It would only take 1 event that no one shows up and if that does not get their attention then nothing will.

And most all the sportsman racers are the back bone of the event. JMO...

Most of us have jobs we are not wealthy (yet we aint eating putting out of our windows either), yet spend that kind of money and be treated in that manner is totally uncalled for. And also I call BS on making everyone stay to the end of the event.

Maybe I am wrong but I was raised to always treat people the way you want to be treated and it all comes back to you.

I just talked to Jennifer in Cali, it looks like we are getting a transfer of entry (because we would love to go to another one of the f-ing debacles) and all crew and spectator tickets we bought. 7-10 business days.

I do believe mine has already been updated. Atleast I have a transfer credit listed.

I have also been hearing that NHRA was thinking about taking back all class winner trophies. I have not seen anything come across from nhra themselves about this but the rumor mill was sure is flying. You're not going to please everyone on a decision, but canceling an event? That pretty much pleases no one.

Oh I am glad The pro's have decent weather today so that they can test!!!

Its real simple guys NHRA doesn't give a s..t about sportsman racers. You hear it all the time but it's a fact. I was there in Houston for the debacle. The worst part for me was they kept us there all day before they said anything so we wouldn't leave. Word was they even threatened fines for dragging mud into the lanes. I wish we could use the credit for divisional races instead.

What happen to the 1st round losers?????????????/ Do they get back into another event since this event never happen???????????

[PB Candies]

Just like if we never showed up for all Sportsman.

[WRENCH]

Some one should get all the sportsman together that were there and check the rules well then consult an attorney . Their has to be something that can be done for the sportsman racers. NHRA just likes to put it to all of them . Who does NHRA thinks pays for all the insurance ? This is only my 2cents.

[Robert Pare Racing]

Wow, I feel bad for the Sportsman racers affected. That really is a terrible situation to be in. I can't even think of anything offensive to say at this point. Hang in there guys...

[Dan Fahey]

A boycott of NHRA would wake the up

go to more IHRA Races...
