NHRA Professional classes which is an entertainment venue is not going to go 1/8th mile in this decade or the next IF it still exists in the next but the divisional sportsman classes which is what this thread is about will without question because the track owners, many of which are breaking even at best, some of which are losing $ will demand it to lower their operational costs, otherwise they will no longer host a divisional. That day is on the horizon! Either that or the NHRA will have to lower their fee the a track pays to host a divisional and we know the NHRA ain't doing that.

That said, you can't turn a blind eye nor put your head in the sand to the fact that the core of NHRA sportsman classes is largely 60 and older currently and they are already getting out due to they are no longer competitive, available disposal income, age, health, death and some as well will quit because they are tired and want to do other things in the twilight of their life. This demographic is largely stuck in their ways and won't embrace change, evident by all the complaint threads here but the the generations behind them have and will IF they want to continue to race!
