I think if you take a good look around, the soccer, sushi, and lexus is making far more inroads that it should be across the country. Even in West By God Virginia!
I have said this before, but if I want to see monster trucks, I sure don't want it to be on an asphalt drag strip. How can any "fan, racer or promoter" think that is more exciting than Mountain Motor Prostock? Don't get me wrong, Monster trucks certainly have their place in the motorsports world, but it is not on a drag strip unless the strip is sand or mud, or even a hill climb!
