Default Re: Really national dragster?

Do you think NHRA's offices being in CA were ever influenced by Hollywood? Similar mentality to a "reality show". Nobody will pay to see true reality; it's what we see every day of our life. People pay to see what they wish their reality could be. NHRA sells dreams, fantasies, thrills . . . cheap thrills at that. You can buy what NHRA sells, but it won't last.

The honor, respect, acheivement, integrity, etc. that racers wish was still prevalent in sportsman racing is what lasts. It comes with a high price too, but its not dollars and cents. What you see on that cover is dollars and cents masquerading as virtue.
