That day is on the horizon! Either that or the NHRA will have to lower their fee the a track pays to host a divisional and we know the NHRA ain't doing that.
That said, you can't turn a blind eye nor put your head in the sand to the fact that the core of NHRA sportsman classes is largely 60 and older currently and they are already getting out due to they are no longer competitive, available disposal income, age, health, death and some as well will quit because they are tired and want to do other things in the twilight of their life. This demographic is largely stuck in their ways and won't embrace change, evident by all the complaint threads here but the the generations behind them have and will IF they want to continue to race!

Curious if 1320 racer will be changing his "name" to 660 racer anytime soon. Have you ever raced a Stock or Super Stock car, or do you just feel as a throttle stop racer, that your opinion about classes that you don`t race in, and likely never have, carries any validity. Maybe your time would be better spent on how to make more power, so you can stay on throttle stop longer,to slow your car down again.
