Thank you Jim for what you do sponsoring. As a fan who read about it all it needs to change. I could only go today, Sunday, when the Factory super cars can run in a class to be exposed to fans. Glad I did not take a no pay day from work Thursday now.It was a great day today, but so little sportsman racing. Only semi's and finals. They need to shorten show I guess? for fans attention span? I been here going back to the 80's for the old summer nats in July.
Good luck in all you do. Chris

As a fan since the 80's, I thought today went great. All pro classes were awesome. I did miss more sportsman as they only ran the semis and finals. The show is shortened to acccomidate the newer demographic? shorter attention spans?certainly an easier ride home today After watching telecast rain was a possibility. Still a great day Sunday thank you.
4 points I will make.
1 many drag racers want heads up classes. They are no longer interested in anything brackets to watch or compete. Cecil County had anothershootout Saturday and maybe today too where a lot of locals were. I know that for fact. A few told me. Now NHRA , they included 11.50 index. I like the index classes and they are fun to watch.
2 The young ones today like lowering cars and nice wheels, some graphics and intakes(air filter systems as I would say, they dont) and exhaust are not track kids. They don't like domestics. I work for Lexus, and see it daily with coworkers and customers rides.
3. The economy still stinks and many can't afford this.

4. Alan Reinhart gave the very best heartfelt thank you I've ever seen at the track today. They know people just can't afford the day out, tho June is graduations, proms, bdays month of the year People don't have the disposible income and many are recovering from Sandy and otherstorms also. I was with one today.
I was moved by his speech. Any tape of it?
