I remember the old days, back when Cloy or Farmer would bounce you for having the wrong trim on the car. Back when Tech meant something. I remember the private Top Fuel teams blowing up all the time and then the call would go out for Stock to the lanes. I remember a special lane for Record Setting attempts. I remember when we would make 6-8 passes in a day instead of sitting around BSing about the good old days and hoping to get a pass or maybe 2 if lucky. I remember when you could race AHRA,IHRA or NHRA and there were full fields of cars. AHRA died with Jim Tice, Billy Meyer killed IHRA and Greed is killing NHRA.
Pro Stock used to be entertaining with a great mix of all brands of cars. Then politics and corruption took over and it became a GM playground. NHRA will never change with the current Hierarchy in charge who are more interested in lining their own pockets and sucking the racers dry.
We need a revolution but you can't get 2 racers to agree on anything.
