The best race I ever attended is the next one I am going to! Always is.... We are all fortunate to be able to have fun racing!

There were wall-to-wall spectators and 1,200 race cars. No typo...

I see it as the high point of drag racing in the USA. I was fortunate to have been there.

After that, things started going downhill, and haven't stopped, yet.

Just my opinion...

That is the best statement that has been made on Class Racer in years and I can't agree with you more. Although I'm not always a fan of the way that NHRA treats us, when it quits being fun I'll find a new hobby.
