Michael Beard is to be thanked by all the racers for providing a business like drag racing which still considers the participants not just the "business". NHRA only sees the bottom line today, not the future of the bottom line. Michael sees the Bigger picture which depends on keeping ALL the parts of the racing coming back for more. Probably will pick up spectators also.
Sorry to see the Class Nationals gone but competing NHRA events helped kill the counts in classes because the NHRA addicted lost sight of the future of their options.
If more NHRA addicted had braved missing an NHRA meet to support Class Nationals maybe NHRA would be questioning upping the charges for class racers at their events because they too would see the racers HAVE an option now....
Keep up the good work Michael.
