WJ & Kurt Sitting Out for 2009 ???

I remember going to LaPlace Dragway back in the 70's to watch my hero, Bill Jenkins, match race Ronnie Sox, Don Carlton, or maybe Don Nicholson in Pro Stock with his smallblock Vega. He had cordoned off the area around his Vega with a small rope and some small poles that were pretty close to the car. It was much like sportsman racing. One could walk right up to him and speak to him while he attended to his car. Those were the good ole days. Today, Pro Stock is expensive and is pricing itself out of racing. While the racer still uses his/her abilities and ingenuity to traverse that quarter mile it's like all you notice is the commercial ad whizzing by. Just my 02.
