The best race I ever attended is the next one I am going to! Always is.... We are all fortunate to be able to have fun racing!

There were wall-to-wall spectators and 1,200 race cars. No typo...

I see it as the high point of drag racing in the USA. I was fortunate to have been there.

After that, things started going downhill, and haven't stopped, yet.

Just my opinion...
