The State Of Sportsman Racing - Interesting Read

Frank Castros · 07-27-2016, 07:58 PM

I haven't raced for many years, but worked and spent as much as it took to "run with the crowd" as we liked to say back then, and it paid off.

What I don't understand about today's racing;

1) The excessive money spent on race rigs.
2) The excessive money spent on race car "bling".
3) Doesn't anyone do anything themselves anymore?
4) The racers themselves changed the rule book, not the NHRA, and it has cost them.
5) The racers showing up Wednesday for a divisional race. For a good pit spot?
6) A divisional race should be two days not three.

Please enlighten me.
