There's an old saying that says,Enjoy what you have today,,cause it won't last forever. This is a prime example of how things change from the good old days to what exists today. When you have people running the show that really know nothing about the Sport and run it the way they want,,then we'll see a slow partial demise. They wouldn't miss the Sportsman, I think the only thing that's saving us right now are the support companies that Dragracers like me use that support those people at the top. There will always be a Sportsman show at National Events for now,,but I think Divisional races will be the major events for Dragracers who love that type of Dragracing. Linda and I will keep doing it,,for a cpl more years anyway,and when we retire,,we can enjoy our accomplishments and success.
Just listened to an interview with the Stock Eliminator World Champion. One thing he said that I've said and believe in,,
"We don't go to a Dragrace to Party,,We Goes to WIN!! And it works.
NHRA Sportsman Dragracing will be around for quite a few more years,,but we have to deal with what we are offered for us.
