Rant over...it just makes me sick how this society works!
e-town is going down teh tubes cause it is run by a bunch of business men and slackers. back in the day when it was run by race fans it was teh only place i wanted to be. now they are all about cash.
the db rules they enforce are not the tracks rules. they are actually both federal highway law and nhra policy for "street" cars. they have been to one degree or another enforcing these rules for many many years. all that has changed in teh last 5 years or so is that the enforcement has been discussed publicly instead of teh old system of doing a spot check or two here and there.
i have been wondering about ways to make the presence of racers known in the community(in a non-negative/destructive manner) for some time and found one that may work. a group of civil war re-enactors(sp?) was getting harrased by a town near where they had canon competitions(yes, they actually target shoot real civil war canons competitively). their solution was to have everybody bring silver dollars to pay for everything when they came to town. when teh town saw how much money their "unwanted" visitors were actually spending they changed their tune real fast. anyone think somethign similar to this would work? maybe it would be better with $2 bills than silver dollars, but it seems to me that they surrounding townships would notice something like this.

later
