Vic, I've been a number one fan of NHRA since I was in short pants but it doesn't mean that someone is sleeping at the switch or someone is selling us short. I have been promoting and preserving our sport through my Jr Stocker Facebook that many have enjoyed reliving the way it use to be but sometimes, you have to be progressive and move forward with new idea when old ones do not work.I look at the cost that NHRA is paying to promote the pros(at a phenomenon price) which means if you have to pay someone to broadcast your junk, it must not be that good in the first place. I hope you all understand, what I was trying to say here. Nhra could produce a program with that just right producer that can bring the best and wholesome NHRA participants can bring. What better than wheels-up racing, side by side and to the fraction racing. I gave Pinks all out as an example(You have to give them their fair share of taps on the back), take the time and watch a segment, the crowd is there from beginning to end, so don't tell me I'm full of it. They can produce one hell of a show if they try! You might not have anyone go out and build a class car but you might just win a fan for life.Claude Ruel

A few years ago when Pinks was in its heyday I talked to several couples who drove hundreds of miles to a pinks show. I ask if they had been to Topeka for the Nationals( 128 miles ) they said no.
When I ask what they liked about the pinks show they said everybody was happy and they had a good ,fun time.
Just look at all the drag race forums on the net ,and all you see is people who are bitching about NHRA and almost everything else.
If something don't change its going to keep up a downward spiral.I would rather have my local track pack the stands with a Pinks show as watch the 30 spectators who show up on a normal race night.At least they can pay their bills.
The entertainment media is changing ,drag racers can change with it or watch it go down the tubes.
Most spectators do not know or care about the detail and talent that goes into a Class legal car.Some tracks are getting a second wind with Nostalgia events, but there are no young people at these. When we die the at venue will also.
Just my opinion ,I'm just a poor bracket racer.

people gonna complain and gripe as long as negative people will listen to them.

this is the line to get in NPR on tuesday.

I hear the complaints. Got a bunch too. However NHRA always seems to pull in tons of racers. All of their Meets are packed. At least from what I can see.

They have successfully migrated to the new cars. The fresh blood is taking its own personality and direction.

I agree with an earlier comment to bring back Modified Production.
Pro Stock is waning but has their following.
Pinks was very Creative and so is the Outlaw Drag Racing.
Wish they would bring back Pure Stock.
See more NHRA races on TV.
Wish they would show the Stockers, SS and Comp racing.
Especially the Heads up Qualifying.
The general public would get that.

If they cannot make it available for TV put it on Internet TV with some announcer building up each race like a Chris Economaki did with ABC in the 70;'s/80's.

He took the drudgery away from the sport and added the passion.
