I went to Joliet this last Friday to watch the first couple of rounds of stock and superstock and see all my friends that I haven't seen in the last few years because I can't afford to run stock a lot. After 1st round of stock and superstock I went to the midway to see all the parts they use to display and talk to all the salepeople I deal with. There were not hardly any there. NO TCI--NO COMP CAMS-NO TURBO ACTION-NO LUNATI-NO MOPAR PERFORMANCE TRAILER-NO FORD PERFORMANCE TRAILER-NO RICHMAN TRAILER,AND A LOT MORE WERE MISSING. I called a couple of the people that I normally stop and see at these events and they told me NHRA has raise the cost of parking and displaying so much that they can't afford to come with the lack of sales at these races. WHAT WILL HAPPEN NEXT. I thought these races were to help sell parts to people coming to watch-get information to help figure what you need for parts and show the true sportsman races what new product they have. BEST PART OF THE RACE WAS WATCHING MIKE KOPPIEN IN THE CAMARO STAND IT ON THE BUMPER FIRST ROUND, CARRY IT OUT ALMOST 400 FEET ,RUN .02 OVER HIS DIAL AND WIN THE ROUND. The pictures on here are great but nothing tops being in the stands except being in the car!!!!!!!
