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.
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. Interesting they included 11.50 index.I think it was My friends GP was in semis of it. 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 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?
