Maybe so, but I would gather that it was administered much in the same way that their marketing strategy and disfunctional hp ratings are....
There is no doubt that printing costs are very high, and there is always a need to cha ge with the times.
My concern is that there are the wrong people at NHRA pushing the yes men into these changes.
I like some parts of the Dragster to be fair, but more sportsman stories would be welcome.
They also need to support the local racers and tracks across the country. If NHRA does not offer franchaise support, they will go elsewhere.
Any track can organize a bracket race TD or TS race. NHRA is enamored with the non performance classes because they are easier to run then Stock, SS, Comp, etc.
They don't realize it, but the track owners will figure out that they don't need NHRA to do this before NHRA does.
Missing the mark with the new Dragster is simply a window into what they have become.
It is too bad some new blood with the love of the sport AND business sense can't come in and show theoverpaid cronies the door out in Glendora.
Those in NHRA that love the sport get squished by those that have only their own interests at heart.
You watch the next step for Dragster will only be features that are merely infomercials that are bought and paid for, just like most magazines.
I quit subscribing to magazines because of this. Instead, I buy 20-40 year old mags. At swap meets. Much better stories and more feature articles on sportsman.
