HERE'S YOUR ALOTTMENT
NHRA should give a said amount of special seats to Bob Stange.
If he exceeds that amount he would know there would be a
ticket charge. Amen.

Re: "what are they thinking"
Un$%^&ing believable! I guess when a sportsman gets
#$%^ crammed down his or her throat now, they shouldn't
feel so bad because NHRA does it to everybody equally in
the name of profit. Yeah, Mr. Stange could turn the other
cheek, like the rest of us do OR he could pull out his sponsorship
for a race or two, as wake up call. How unprofessional!
How shameful! How typical of NHRA! They have GOT to be brought
down to earth! They are a racing organization, not a communist
party! For the racers, by the racers...well you know the
rest!

--------------------------------
As a long time drag racing fan, I'm beginning to not really
care anymore about NHRA. They have become the most uncaring
group of people that I've ever seen and have continued to
show this in there actions (Steve Johnson, Bob Stange).
Whatever happenned to the guys that cared about the racers
and sponsors, guys like what Wally Parks founded and worked
in the beginning to bring us a great show. Now it's who
pays the fuel guys the most. But I do see the fans in a
small way telling them they have had it.
I would be ashamed to tell the attendance lies that NHRA
is telling did you see the crowd shots from Chicago. They
should have been happy to let Bob and his group sit in unsold
seats. Maybe it would have made the place look more crowded.
Thanks for letting me vent.

I think it should be a mandatory rule that anyone hired
in NHRA has to campaign a Super Gas car on the tour and
at the divisional level for a season or two before stepping
in with the suits. How the hell else will they really know
what this sport is. . .and what kind of people constitute
its primary reason for existence?

WHY DO WE TAKE IT?
What I don't understand why everybody just goes back to
NHRA to get burnt more and more. This has been going on
since the early Sixties.
Before all these big sponsors got into this sport the racers
should have boycotted NHRA. Maybe we wouldn't have this
problem we have now.
Now that the big sponsors are into the sport, the racers
have to attend or no sponsorships for them.
I sure wish AHRA was still around.
