What I don't understand about today's racing;
1) The excessive money spent on race rigs.
2) The excessive money spent on race car "bling".
3) Doesn't anyone do anything themselves anymore?
4) The racers themselves changed the rule book, not the NHRA, and it has cost them.
5) The racers showing up Wednesday for a divisional race. For a good pit spot?
6) A divisional race should be two days not three.
Please enlighten me.

I'm with you, Frank.
#4 - A lot of collusion from both sides. A classic case of not thinking things through; unintended consequences.
The valve spring rule was more destructive than the duration rule change.
