Been into this sport since 1963, what has become of this sport by the suits at NHRA these days is depressing, I see so many flaws, yet, I see some bright spots.

Some of the bright spots, many more hours of TV coverage even though the time of telecast is better suited for night owls. Better awareness of the stars of the sport. Nicer facilitys, better food, better cans. (restrooms) Safer tracks, better lights. A renewel in the interest for Super Stock and stock Elim. People long for long lost musclecars and enjoy watching 'em and enjoying todays DPs and Stangs. There are more but time to switch gears.

The lowlights. Delays, oildowns, oildowns, long cleanups and more oildowns. In todays world in the get it done now cuz my attention span is short, is hurting the show.

1000 ft. nitro racing is awefull. Get 'em using one pump. one mag, 12:71 or 10:71 supercharger, dump the dumb ***** gear rule, lower the weights, go back to 1320! Have more night racing, a complete no-brainer. Have Pro Stock go to EFI. Dump the supercharged diggers in T.A.D, go all A/Fuel and call it Pro Dragster. For national events dump the ultra boring Super Gas/Comp trainwrecks. Bring in Top Dragster/Sportsman. Have nostalgia Funny Cars and Top Fuel, also a good wheelstander.

The suits of today at NHRA just don't get it in my view, a view from a geezer. Don't think it can be fixed. The NHRA has ran off so many companies with their lame policies. I could go on and on.

Hands down, Super Stock and Stock are the best sportsman categories.
