Thumbs up Re: What I feel nhra needs to do?

My personal experience sort of fits in with this discussion. I just retired and moved to central Kansas and have a 95 Mustang that I want to turn into a stocker. Because of health problems I have a hard time doing physical labor so I looked for a partner. I advertised on the local tracks bulletin board and got a response from one of the local kids.

He is 19 and started out in Jr. drgster, he then moved to a dragster that he bracket races and responded to the add because he wants to try class racing. He has no family background in class racing but wanted to get into it badly enough that he is making a great sacrifice, a Chevy guy building a Ford. LOL

So here is one example of a young person moving from the jr dragster program to class racing without being born into a class racing family. He also had an import that he rodded around in during his high school days but for drag racing he is going American.
