Are they no longer going to be printed in the National Dragster?

That seemed to be one of the cool things that went along with setting a record??

I second that they still should be there they take all the good stuff out.

i agree, that was the coolest thing, was to show your friends or co workers your name in the back of the magazine....

They want you to send the online link to your friends....

Send a letter to the editor! Anybody have an name & email address for the editor they can post here?

Furthermore: A record should stay in print/online until busted by a fellow racer! I hate looking at ND and seeing all those minimums. It might revive things for record setting performance. Those blanks mislead readers into thinking, there are no participants in those classes.

In this day and age of Political Correctness... NHRA has decided that it's not fair, or right that they publish your success for hard work in their publication... From now we all have to be treated as equals. "We just want everyone to get along."

I had set records in 1975, so my wife saved the National Dragsters from back then. I went to Indy with the ND's in hand and back then they had racer profiles as a feature of each issue. I tried to find as many of the profiled racers I could and gave them the issue with their profile in it. Roy Hill was one of the profiled, I handed it to him and you could knock him over with feather. He told me that he never saved any of the old media. I gave out about 10 of the old ND's, it was great!
