I guess we are all wondering why the NHRA doesn't make common sense business decisions for themselves, their partners and their customers to increase profitability and customer satisfaction. The track owners, Manufacturers and the racers all get frustrated with the lack of appreciation and apathy that comes from the NHRA.
This is because the NHRA, like our freaking Goverment, doesn't have anyone in charge that has a BRAIN, or gives a **** about the people paying the BILLS. As car counts go down or people lose their jobs they just charge more or TAX more on the people who show up.
NHRA sportsman cars or cool, people will pay to see them, IF there was some promotion involved. Nobody pays to see Alcohol cars because nobody wants to see them! Why should 300 other racers pay high entry fees so a few alcohol racers can be paid to do their hobby. ITS ABSURD.
There are other drag racing shows out there that attracting huge crowds, those promoters are working at it, These NHRA points races haven't changed for YEARS(35 ?)
They need some FRESH ideas, and some effort into promotion. DAMM
I just watched the evening news and got all fired up. lol
