Jim, It may affect us in the long run, but what we say about it here will have no effect on NHRA.
I contend that, without fuel cars, and fuel zombies wandering around in a daze, walking in front of you on the pit roads, there is no longer an NHRA as an entertainment venue.

Have to add here..That may not be a bad thing.
It's no secret that Sportsman cars don't do it for the money. I see more and more S/SS cars with no decals at all. They just want to race somewhere.
I know, some of the independent races don't do real well as a business venture, but without a viable Big N, with Wallys, that would probably change too.
