There is still plenty of interest in drag racing , considering the world we live in today and smart heads could exploit it.

joe, websites are reality as much as the cable shows that claim to be. Lots of drama queens, dreamers and liars post on forums and interest based on a forums post count is far different than new blood spending the coin to build cars and compete!

Talk to high school kids and you'll quickly find they have no interest in organized drag racing of any kind no mind any $ if they did.

My son has been racing 7 years and not one of his friends, not one of his teammates in all these years have ever shown any interest or come to watch and find out what it's all about. Further, of all the kidsw that race jrs. each year for the past 21 years, few continue to race "big" cars after aging out for various reasons...college, trade school, military, full time job, marry, etc. but perhaps the number 1 reason is dad/mom are no longer paying the bill to build a car and race.

Like the NHRA or not, it's their game and their rules, always has been and will continue to be until it's no more.
