Default Re: What I feel nhra needs to do?

Chad, my kids a 20 something racer. He's grown up at the track, he's never shown any interest in the imports, probably due to the fact that I never did. What type of car one races in my mind does not have anything to do with ones IQ. Maybe these new import racers had no one to show them the ropes I don't know, however just the fact that their trying is good in my book. There are always going to be racers that excel over the others be it their driving or wrenching abilities. I like different stuff, I enjoy the look on peoples faces when I turn up my V6 and it sounds like a giant pissed off weed wacker their eyes about pop out of their heads. I've not been to a race with my car that a herd of young kids haven't come by and ask about my stuff, after answering all the how big of turbo and how much NOS questions I like to talk to them and show them my stuff.Who knows that kid may be the one that decides this is for him. Our sport can never thrive yet alone survive without the interest of the young people, after were gone in the words of the great Goerge Jones....."Who's gonna fill their shoes?" Joe
