Great post Mr. Rampy. I was just getting into racing when David was driving the High Times opel and Nova . I not only agree with Davids post but with everybodys post. I severely cut back my racing about 10 years ago because of the kid thing. Always God and family first. I have been saying for about 8 years that NHRA has been trying to seperate the pro racer from the sportsman racer and only run the professional catagories at national events and the sportsman guys only run the points meets. In my eyes the TV money for the pro classes is the only thing keeping NHRA afloat. The future doesn't look good for NHRA. IHRA and NMCA and a couple others are much more fun to run. The future of all racing is very uncertain right now. I wish Mr. Rampy could get with some of some wealthy people and start a grass roots drag racing organization that truly thought the sportsman racer was the back bone of the sport. Mr. Rampy will always be an ambassador for the sport of drag racing. Happy Thanks giving to everybody.
