I know for a fact, it is because of the Force name that certain rules are bent just a little by the NHRA Officials. It is not because of the female drivers either.(First, let it be known that I love John Force and his whole family. John paid his dues and if I was handed a ride like the Force Daughters, I would milk it to the MAX!!! No sour grapes here, they are great drivers!!) Back to the NHRA facts, a few years back, my Team was denied entry to E-town with the excuse that there was not enough parking spaces for any additional Alky cars. While that sounded real good,I,like some of the other commenters could not help but notice that over half of the parking area was used up by a couple dozen "PRO" cars. I wonder what NHRA would use as "Fillers" if all the "Little Guys" would stay home from the National events? I agree that we have to have the Pro cars and big sponsors too, but I do not feel that the Sportsmen racers are getting a fair deal. Of course, I am treated differently because I get pretty vocal when I have something to say. You know...like the so called Insurance coverage that we members are supposed to have and guard rails past the finish line should be mandatory. As a result of my "Mouth" I was told that because I race at IHRA events that I can not take advantage of certain privileges. They said that I had not raced at NHRA for years. Goes to show what they know about us "Little Guys", I sent a copy of my Top Five Position in my Division for the previous year. While this may sound bitter to some, it is not meant to be taken that way. My point is that there are hundreds of good Sportsmen racers that devote their lives to racing NHRA and they do not get a FAIR SHAKE. I think NHRA should bend the rules a little for them also or make the rules the same for everyone. NHRA is a big business and they can not make everyone happy, but they should remember who made them "BIG".
