I don't think stock and SS have anything to worry about. Now Super Gas and Super Comp are going to take the hit. Look at the Super Gas car count and it has dropped way off from a few years ago and Super Comp looked a bit light also. Face it the Top classes put people in the stands, their loud, fast, on the edge and they run flat out and hard just like us class guys. I couldn't believe it, but one of the Top Dragsters was dialed 6.22, it sounded like an alcohol car. Top Sportsman #1 qualifier was 6.80 and I think the bump was around 7.50.

I do agree, if they are not earning division points they shouldn't be there, but it just a matter of time until they are.

Dave is right about the traffic, for us guys that live up north, Sundays aren't to bad once we get north of the NYC bridges, but I have seen the traffic going south on a Sunday afternoon, bumper to bumper from New London Ct. to Brunswick NJ. Thats about 200 miles and that wasn't a holiday and there wasn't any accidents just all volume.
