Yea, but for us weekend racers who can't afford $1000.00 a weekend to go run a Nhra event it was a lot of fun. Yes Rich was hanky and made some bone-head comments,but It brought more awareness to our sport from people who have never seen or cared about drag-racing. I have had more folks than you can count come up to us @ events and said " Hey there's the silver car off Pinks !! Where do you race,we would like to come see a race". These are the people that are going to make or break our sport by coming to the track to see racing live and in person then deciding this looks like fun maybe I should build a car. I hate to see it go away, I do agree it needed a little tweaking, but all and all it did good for our sport and will be missed.. IMO
