NHRA and the Master Plan

I think NHRA might be paying some of the under funded fuel teams to fill spots to get full fields. Maybe they should do the same for pro stock. Lets face it the NHRA that we have known for so many years is falling apart at the seams. The people that are running the organization know nothing about racing. You can tell by the constant changing of the rules. Now they are severely limiting the quota of sportsman classes that are healthy and want to race. Comp eliminator is all but dead. Same with pro stock. The rule changes that went into effect this year for Pro Stock have been a flop and only hurt the class and the parody that they had with the carbs. That was a dumb move. NHRA has been making it almost impossible for sponsors to participate in either contingency or full sponsorship of race teams. The manufacturer midway is a ghost town now compared to what it use to be. They were selling lawn mowers at the Gators on the midway. The future does not look very bright on the horizon.

on the bright side the TV coverage seems to be a little bit improved and the all access is a good thing. Maybe a bit over priced though. To grow the sport and viewers you have to give them a good value.
