Steve MTT,
You think the stands are grey? check out the racers. Old cars with OLDER racers. Like it or not there does need to be a cross over which can attract current people to racing using current technology or..... it will vanish. Lack of new drivers , lack of new engine builders, lack of sponsor support....loss of spectators. Sport Compact races lost out because it was a fringe group of supporters. Cost is high. UntilNHRA gets a brain wave on how to control the cost within Drag Racing basics it wont happen in this economy. |

Its not that there was a fringe group or lack of support, the larger series I don't think were managed or promoted right. NHRA left, NOPI left, but this year there are a half dozen new smaller series and by my count almost 60 race events for sport compacts this across the county. Sport Compact racing is far from dead.

My favorite pro class is Pro stock and I hope they dont change a thing. Like was posted earlier where else is the competition so close. IN my opinion changing to FI, turbos and overhead cams will just make it even more cost prohibitive to start and kill off some of the teams already running due to not being able to afford to change over. If I had my way they would run stock, super stock and pro stock and some of the .90 stuff and thats it. Both of the fuel car classes are a joke.
