I was never asked my thoughts on the change! Seems they only polled a select few to develope a new program for 2008. Sure, there were only a few drivers in the Pro class for points, but, lets not forget, QCR didn't reopen till June and the 2006 Pro drivers joined points at other tracks.
The Pro class had quite a bit of cars, it's just they were not in the points. Not to mention the fact that some of the foot brake cars double entered foot brake and pro classes. The street legal class had 3 drivers for points in 08...was that class dropped? NO!!!
Your right, it should have been a poll with all drivers and not just a select few. Dragway 42 had an open poll about the time trials. I race there maybe a couple times a year, but at least they wanted input from all racers.
