Quote: Most of the people that complain about the NHRA, have no legitimate beef, or even know why they are complaining. It is just that "blood in the water" mentality, that makes everyone want to pile on.
This seatbelt rule that you guys get so bent out of shape about, is NOT an NHRA rule. It is a rule set forth by the SFI foundation and NHRA chooses to recognize SFI as the governing body, concerning safety rules. Other orgs, such as the NTPA, IHBA, Nascar and many others also follow SFI guidelines.
Then, the contingency comments are just laughable. Unless you work for a company, that actually pays contingency, or have worked with a race org, then I can just about guarantee, that you have no clue how it works............but the comments like "the contingency sponsors pay off the NHRA, so that rules are changed and we have to continue to buy their products to race"......what?????? Somebody watches too many episodes of "Conspiracy Theory".
Whether you hate NHRA or not, to claim that the sport would be better off without them and hope for their demise, is VERY shortsighted...to put it mildly.

So if as you say, SFI just makes guidelines, who makes the rules?
Why can I run 9.20's in IHRA but need a SFI tag to run NHRA? Who made that rule?
Why does an IHRA chassis SFI tag cost twice as much as a NHRA SFI tag as they meet the same specs? Why do we even need two tags meeting the same specs if it isn't about the money?
Would the sport be better off with NHRA gone? No
Would the sport be better off with the current board of directors gone? YES!
