I am a sportsman racer for over 50 years. The world has changed, a kid today doesn't know a 68 Hemi Dart from a Toyota....I say, let's be thankful for what we have.

^^ Yep, these are great days indeed for gearheads. Lots of different forms of racing.

I agree that NHRA might be missing a fantastic opportunity to expand by including the arm drop/ no time type grudge racing.
I could never afford the heads up type of racing, but it is fun to watch.

But, NHRA is what it is and most likely will never stray away from their comfort zone.
Might be good, might be bad.

But one thing is for sure...we live in the greatest country in the world when it comes to motorsports.
