To have new pro teams you have to sportsman racers,used to the way it worked was had sportsman racer that dominated a class AND WAS ABLE TO WIN ENOUGH MONEY between purse and contingency and seemed like they would move up to pro class or would keep moving up through sportsman classes.

Drag Racing has competition from many things now,one thing is kids sports they don't have a normal season anymore they play practically year round,so the family is tied up with that, younger racers most don't want any rules or restrictions,some don't even want to race just make passes to see how fast they can go,don't have a clue about RT judging by their 1.600-1.900 reaction times,in ways it is almost like some parts of drag racing have went backwards,like before or when was first organized.
