Many of you make some good points, but the majority are just complaining and not actually stating what you don't like about NHRA racing, or how to fix it.

here are a few questions, at what tracks do you plan to hold these events? Where will the advertising and promotional dollars come from? have any of you priced the cost for radio, print and TV advertising? Or do you think people will just show up? Plus, where are your sponsors going to come from in this downed economy?

It would take millions in capital to design, launch, operate, and grow a national racing series that would probably operate at a huge loss the first few seasons. You need trucks, trailers, uniforms, insurance, etc. Not to mention a business plan for problems such as lawsuits, multiple rain outs and other essentials. It goes way deeper than dreaming up a few classes and appointing a few qualified people.
