A few years ago when Pinks was in its heyday I talked to several couples who drove hundreds of miles to a pinks show. I ask if they had been to Topeka for the Nationals( 128 miles ) they said no.
When I ask what they liked about the pinks show they said everybody was happy and they had a good ,fun time.
Just look at all the drag race forums on the net ,and all you see is people who are bitching about NHRA and almost everything else.
If something don't change its going to keep up a downward spiral.I would rather have my local track pack the stands with a Pinks show as watch the 30 spectators who show up on a normal race night.At least they can pay their bills.
The entertainment media is changing ,drag racers can change with it or watch it go down the tubes.
Most spectators do not know or care about the detail and talent that goes into a Class legal car.Some tracks are getting a second wind with Nostalgia events, but there are no young people at these. When we die the at venue will also.
Just my opinion ,I'm just a poor bracket racer.
