Also,according to my Nitro Joe's Stats which arrived yesterday,there were 1550 total cars (Just in Stock Eliminator alone) that made passes at NHRA events last year.

There must be something that is interesting about this class for that many drivers to compete.

What is the big problem?
1550? There's 51 classes in Stock. So that's about 30 cars per class on average. There's 7 NHRA regions, so that's about 4 cars in any given class per region. Obviously some classes attract more cars, some less. There's many combos with one or zero cars at any given race.

So one one hand, yes - what is inherently wrong with racing that attracts 1550 cars? On the other hand, what is good about racing that attracts 2 people to a particular combo in a country of 300,000,000 people?
