NHRA is fast becoming a dog and pony show, and trying to be all things to all people. You cannot be all things to all people. You cannot include every class every person or sanctioning body on the planet can think of. With too many classes, everyone gets screwed, or nearly everyone. Quality over quantity sells better nearly every time, especially when times are tight.
I like the idea of everyone having a time and a place to race, but it simply cannot be the same place and the same time for everyone.
By the way, once again, NHRA has made such an excellent deal with ESPN that the NHRA show gets either cut short or pre-empted and rescheduled for stick and ball sports. No wonder companies do not want to buy space on drag cars, even in the pro classes. Who is watching qualifying at 2AM on Sunday morning?

Alan, I couldn't agree with you more on your last statement, and I called NHRA to talk about my disdain with that as well, and got the following number for ESPN to vent complaints too...I hope all of us will call them and voice our beefs with them for not caring enough about us to give our sport similar programs/air time as nascar...it's (860) 766-2236. You know what they say...there's strength in numbers, so lets all call them!!!
