This is one thing I agree with you on whole heartedly Jock! Nice to know there is at least one thing, huh? ;>

Just a thought -- what about allowing the non-AMC powered cars to compete, but just not throwing the NAMDRA contingency money at them? IIRC when you race there is the track purse then NAMDRA adds money to it? I might be wrong, please forgive me if I am -- just correct me! But then the setup you have works nicely, why change unless there are complaints?
