Default Re: Maple Grove Sold? You heard it from me!

NHRA has been sold and the new owners want to run the programs like NASCAR. Qualify on Saturday and run on Sunday.

But who didn't see that coming? Just in the last couple years they eliminated the Sportsman guys from how many events, and you need an atlas and a decoder ring to figure out when/where they're gonna run?! I won't even get into how the Sportsman guys are treated by the tracks...the writing has been on the wall, but nobody wanted to read it. Let NHRA have their 'PRO' racers, and let someone who gives a rip pick up the Sportsman classes and do it RIGHT. Then let the NHRA dig into their pockets when the gate & entries from the 'little guys' isn't there to help pay for "The Show" any more...

GOD BLESS Wally Parks, but he'll be better off *not* seeing this garbage...
