I think the NMMA needs a strong leadership stand with trying to please the customer (which is the Racers & Members)or they will not have any customers, I was a member for 1yr that was enough for me for every good guy there,there are 10 guys that think they are something!! I think when a racer goes to a track they need to treat him or her with respect and give the same treatment as to the the other guys there. There is such a buddy system it is un real if its black its black if its white its white. I think to build a strong NMMA they need to listin to the people that support it, because this is what the outlaw tracks are doing and it seems to be working with them and pay a little money out for big shows I don't care if your running Stock or Multi the money spent is almost same I know people that run stock motors in multi that do well and I also know people that have big dollars in there motors and still struggle I personally think it takes the whole package to be fast!! its nice to have rules to regulate everything but in todays racing nobody likes to be told what to do with there racing opperation and dollars spent if they think big money makes them fast let them spend it.When you tell them they can't they find somewere else to race. I also think the fees are to high for what you get in return.The pit stop is not a big deal a news letter would get the same thing done. Now if you had full fledge magazine like (sprint car midget) that would attract members just to get the magazine. We were members of the WKA for years now they have a top notch system because they work very hard at it and every race the same people are there running the race scoreing the race and teching the racers plus they have a great magazine to keep people on top of the sport this is what makes it work. Just a thought have 5 NMMA races per year at differant tracks pick out the same people that will work all the races move the races to differant areas to find out your best turnout and make it prestigeous to go and win at one of these events, but don't run day shows and have good tracks that have good track prep then the people that are into points make it the best 3of5 races for a champion this would make for good racin at these events. get rid of regions and narrow the rule book down and make 4 classes jr sprint,NW,Multi,and Rest with NMMA stamped plates let the best man WIN!!! Check plates in restricted class and go home til next time (the people involved with the races cannot race themselves). this is happening already but the NMMA is not involved so get your own deal going with national events. just my 2 cents Ted Peters
