It's very simple.When I go to the races, I want to race. Not sit and sunburn. I don't want to invest $200k on a place to sit because we are not racing. Give me some runs and I will race more. Three days off work and two or three runs is way out of line. First rounds in front of a Friday crowd does not entice me. I don't mind paying to play, but we're really not playing that much anymore.

I understand why NHRA wants to sign up more cars per event. However, the advertising messages are being diluted by too many competing companies as a result of the massive amount of cars at each event. Subsequently, there is less perceived value for current and prospective event and team sponsors. I hope the pendulum is about to swing the other way.

Anyone ever wonder how a bass tournament winner can win so much more than us? I genuinely do not know the answer, but it is worth a discussion.
