I'm 22, and its horrible to think that something like removing Stock, Super Stock, and Comp could happen. I wanna race in Super Stock and Comp so bad, but I need time. I have a few years left in college and I won't have the finances to fund any project until I graduate. I grew up with sportsman classes and I love them to death. I won't even go to a National Event unless Comp, Super Stock, and Stock are there.

But I will say this, it is NHRA's own fault that fans can't connect with the sportsman classes. They park everyone in the boonies, they never do any major marketing to promote divisionals, and no one does anything to explain the classes to the incoming fan. We all know that "pop and bang" will bring the most fans out, but things could be much better with better promotion.
