Big Wow, news from Ford??

Drag racing is in trouble and if you don't see it your blind....

We don't need more $100,000 Stockers...

Pro fields are so thin they barely fill a 16 car field

Some of the cars racing the Fuel classes are so poor they barely make it down the track...or are just there because they need cars to fill the field...

Pro Stock has under 16 cars for many events...

Sportsman car counts are half of what they used to be or way lower...

Local tracks are struggling to survive...

Except for a few areas overall things are not too good....IMHO.....

I don't have the answers to what might help or make things better but NHRA sure does not seem to be doing a good job of keeping the sport healthy.

Corporate America is not very interested in NHRA Drag Racing.....and has not been for years.....
