Stop buying National Dragster for just one year and they will start asking questions. Doesn't take long to make changes. I use to love going to NHRA events but unfortunately I'm not the one they cater to, it's a clown only show .CR
I was there racing Super Stock and you never knew when you were going to get a time trial run. You made a pass went back to the staging lanes and waited for your next run. If you had a minor problem with your car you worked on it in the staging lanes.
