I did not take it as a slam at all. In fact, a lot of the things you mentioned were happening anyway, independent of our sponsorship situation.

There are a lot of alternatives to follow local drag racing now as it happens. The thing DRC offers that no one else does is that we have an archive going back to 1998 for national events. Right now, the divisional archive is only showing back to 2012. To some people, that is valuable. Others only care about what is happening right now. Those who prefer to know right away can get what they need without it.

I was at every D1 division race from 2001 to 2014 and enjoyed every minute of it. I think during that time, we were able to bring people coverage that they valued. All of us greatly appreciate that Summit made it possible for so many years. How lucky I was to get paid to cover drag racing.

But times have changed.

That said, we'd all love to do it and anyone who is interested in sponsorship can email Rick Green - rick at fastnews dot net
