I think the car counts for the most part were worse last year, mostly due to gas being 4 bucks a gallon last year, and this year I think its a little bit of carry over, the bad economy, spending more time checking the weather (like alot did for Atco, and I'm sure some of that affected LVD)..
But back to the reason for this thread, note the car counts are up for TD and TS..I understand it, especially for the TD guys...I saw some local bracket racers runng TD at the valley, and some were running in "bracket" trim and a few added the blue bottle...So you can go fast, no throttle stop...Not so easy for TS as you need a fast door car to begin with...
THE FANS LOVED IT !!!!!!
Especially when the real fast cars were out there....Maybe it is time for NHRA to do something with the indexes...Again this weekend I heard statements that throttle stop racing was stupid, all them damn electronics, they're scared to run fast, blah blah blah...although there will still be 150 mph SST cars, 170 mph SG cars and they will use the stop unless there is some major change..and to tell you the truth I'm sure there are guys who dont want a change , and thats their right, and I dont think that the top guys at NHRA want to change it, cause cars will always show up and lets face it, especially at a National we are filler.....
