I see them on videos with fans on the staring line with the race cars .I know this won't happen at a NHRA way to much liability not to mention dangerous to the people what are they thinking they are not invincible and can't get hurt silly people. You say there is a new game in town I say no this type of racing has been going on since I was a kid many many years ago .lol
Back to the original post, I will be at new england.....since I am always parked at the end of the track, behind some trees, I am not going to worry about flying shrapnel and such.....fans in the stands that might be another matter, from a marketing standpoint, announce they are next, get the butts in the seats, and run a round of SS qualifying to get em all worked up, and then unleash the edge of disaster class.
