Where does this go? Where another VR turns NB onto a front wheel drive stocker that will run the index for an affordable price?
These changes are here to stay and like everything in life, not everyone is happy about it, especially older racers who like how it was.
I'm not a fan of electric cars, but I will age out too and they will become the norm.
I think that YOU'RE missing the point. I don't see it as trying to make fun of anything. He HAS made a good "point" of bringing out just how the Racer's personal agendas have brought the sport (MY sport) to a point of specialization where an "average" 20 year old who has no other family involved largely wouldn't have the funds or knowledge to compete. I don't see him laying blame on the NHRA anywhere in his posts. ALTHOUGH we both know that certain Racers have an easier way of pushing their personal agendas than others and certain companies seem to have their products forced upon us whether they're needed or not.
Where DOES this go?
