Bill,
I'm not a bit happier about it than anyone else. I dearly love the sport, it means the world to me. I've been blessed with the opportunity to participate twice in my life. It saddens me to no end to see the direction it is taking.

I wish that the solutions were simple, not nearly so painful as they are, and that we could get enough people on board to make them work. Unfortunately, I think it will take a lot stiffer and harsher dose of reality to make that happen, and it may come too late.

The sport, as we, the old school die hard racers know and love it, has changed a great deal, and will likely change a great deal more, and not for the better, unless something causes a serious change in direction.

What we need is for as lot of people (thousands) to be visited by the three ghosts, drag racing past, drag racing present, and drag racing future. I think many would be scared to death when presented with the third.
