There is a bunch of places to go race. I don't see that as a problem. It offers something different for everyone and their budget. Not everyone has a taste for stock, super gas, comp eliminator, pro-Stock, top fuel, drag radial, outlaw, 1/8 mile, 1/4 mile etc...

I think it is important to get people into drag racing as a sport/business/hobby. Not so much getting people into stock/super stock eliminator. If people lose interest with stock and it adapts or dies as a sign of the times for that particular products shelf life. It's creative destruction because in its place will be another form(or 2+) that is parallel with the times of the interested people.

I know that is not a popular view and I'm not trying to demean the class in the slightest. Nor do I think the class is anywhere close to dying off as there are new cars being built and lanes full. I will promote the class to the best of my abilities and try to help it prosper but the big picture is Drag Racing as a whole.
