Has NHRA handcuffed the pros with so many national events, they can never 'match race' anymore? Would something like this spice-up a Divisional and attract fans?

I know I miss it. Just sayin'....

this "PC" crap of not wanting to offend anyone due to sponsorship ain't working...
look at all the "reality" shows on TV..
