Re: Index Change
Many young drag racers don't understand S/SS racing, but there are thousands of young people competing in NMCA, NMRA, ADRL and other HEADS-UP associations where they have classes with structured rules and plenty of tech. The difference is that the racing is heads-up and the cars are much faster. For the cost of my Stocker I could be running 9s not low 11s and high 10s. They can purcahse new parts, not scrounge up old parts, not to mention that they get coverage on TV and in magazines.
If anyone thinks this type of racing is po-dunk, they should attend and you'd be amazed at the professionalism of the cars, teams and the overall show.
These associations make their racers into small-time heros, which is something NHRA or IHRA will never do because they have the Pros. Of course, none of those organizations would exist without the NHRA, which sanctions the tracks, helps with insurance and overall structure and overall promotion of our sport.
