Here's my perspective.......
It's not 1975 any more. Look for drag racing vids on YouTube.
I see video after video of Nitrous , Turbo and Blower combos...guys running all these different "small" sanctioning bodies.
Todays racers aren't much interested in SS , S or Comp style racing.
All they want to do is go fast using whatever means they can.
I used to go to the Southern Nat's every year specifically to watch SS , Comp and Pro Stock. SS , minus the "chrome bumper" cars is a bore.....too many automatics too ( LOL ). Boy do I miss traditional muscle cars in drag racing.....read that "classics" , with 4 speeds thank you. Not nearly enough of them for me.............never have been.
The fuel cars were cool in the eighties..................now its just a circus freak show that , as far as I'm concerned , should just go away. Mike Dunn , you and your Nitro classes suck. The only ones that care about fuel cars are the fuel racers and some casual fans impressed by the "freak show".
Even Pro Stock has become a monotonous bore. The NHRA hangs on and the IHRA was always the minor league..............always.
Anyone that won world championships in the IHRA , from what I observed , would have had their butt handed to them in the NHRA.........at least in the Pro classes anyway.
If the IHRA dies because Dunn has no appreciation for sportsman racers................then the hell with em.
