NHRA has painted themselfs into a corner by letting the PRO's to get out of hand. NHRA didn't keep the cost of Pro cars down and now that the usual stepping up process from one class to another is not happening. The common step would be from Alcohol to Fuel isn't happening as well as Comp to P/S. There used to be a food chain going from Stock right up to Top Fuel that has been broken by NHRA allowing multi-million dollar teams to run the show. If any body thinks that it's compitition, it's a "SHOW" in the eye's of NHRA. NHRA could care less about the regular racer. You can see that in the discount for the spectator tickets but nothing set aside for the racers as far as discounts. I hope that NHRA changes in a positive way and that there are car counts go back to where they used to be.
I miss the old NHRA when T/F to Super Street competed at a Division race.
