REPLY TO HARRY:

When I started racing in 1961 there were drag strips all over where I lived Fremont, Half Moon Bay Lodi
etc. There were more spectators every week than there are at most divisionals now. I think the main reason is those damn throttle stop cars! I know, great drivers, close races etc. but at a divisional and National event there are HUNDREDS OF 'EM! A lot of old time racers I know won't even go to watch anymore. Sorry....just the way I see it.
