Lack of NHRA support for Sportsman @ INDY

[Toby Lang]

Well, if you notice in the URL it says "Fan Schedule" and off to the side it lists "Special Fan Events." I'm guessing 80%+ of the fans are only there to see the loud cars, so I guess it makes sense to cater the schedule to them, doesn't it?

If you look down at the very bottom of the page it has a box you can click on to "View Complete Racer Schedule".

These days the Labour day US Nationals "Entry List" is online but back in the day it was a program handout. Top Fuel had over 75 entries,Funny Car around 35,Pro Stock had over 60. In 1970 Shirley Muldowney raced in Top Gas(AA/D) eliminator with her dual supercharged small block Chevy's called "Double Trouble". Car count was a little over 1500 entries.I think that if people stopped participating that NHRA would get the idea. Stop buying National Dragster for just one year and they will start asking questions. Doesn't take long to make changes. I use to love going to NHRA events but unfortunately I'm not the one they cater to, it's a clown only show .CR

I was there racing Super Stock and you never knew when you were going to get a time trial run. You made a pass went back to the staging lanes and waited for your next run. If you had a minor problem with your car you worked on it in the staging lanes.
