I had been away for about thirty years, when I started going back to watch a few. Couldn't believe how the stand emptied after the fuel cars. That is about all most spectators watch anymore. Maybe a third stay to watch Pro Stock, if that. Most of them leave when the sportsman cars come out.

Back in the '60s and '70s the stands used to be packed at divisional races.

No more. And people complain we get treated like filler. Guess NHRA sees the people in the stands too. I'm glad we still have a place to play.
