Chuck D for 3! (SRAC Rep)

Whalen3186 · 01-18-2023, 08:11 PM

I'm nominating Charley Downing for the D3 Stk/SS rep with SRAC. Chuck has been around class racing for decades and carries a strong voice for Stock and SS racers. He arguably has his finger on the pulse of class racing as much as anyone. Plus he has valuable experience in helping to organize the GLSSA races.

An added bonus: Chuck believes in term limits and fixing entitlement programs (AHFS)! Make D3 Great Again!!

If he will actually send out e mails (like Kent Hanley and Mike Crutchfield) and keep us updated then I am all in for Charley . #CBD4D3

Looks like if elected the first order of business will be to sort out the new blinder rule - I would love to see how they plan to enforce that. Some were getting out of hand in size.
I do think there needs to be some kind of max size for them and a set way there mounted.
I don’t know how using the OEM Sunvisor is any safer to blind.

Charlie: You haven't even been elected and you're sounding like a true politician, making promises. Just wait until the lobbyists get to you. LOL.

Drew, you forgot his colorful ability to forever speak his arguments at any level with detailed illustrations! He isn't afraid to come down on a side even if it isn't a favorable play. Controversial? You bet ya! I agree with you. He would be a good one to lead the charge! #CBD4D3

How will Charlie's "Grade Point Alternative" side gig play out if he happens to get the job?

I was looking to earn a little cash for more go fast parts this year........

Seems fitting

Charley has my vote!

I guess now I know how Trump feels. NHRA could have at least tried to fake it and act like its not rigged.
Thank you to the 70-80 of you that called, texted and or email NHRA to cast a vote for me.

Not even a spot on the ballet. Hard to believe I did not get the votes to get on the ballet. But to be honest NHRA (Rob Park and company) doesn't want guys like me on that committee. God forbid NHRA hears want racers want.

Good luck to whoever gets on.
