Why is there no interest in all new combos

[AJ Laferty]

I've been autocrossing for 32 years, teaching ax for 28. I have had exactly two (2) that showed up for school that knew what they were doing. We all think we are Mario, ayrton senna, lewis hamilton, (pick one) but we are not.

Many of the classes, Stock, Super Stock, and Comp Eliminator requires more than an interest in Drag Racing.. it requires mentoring, teaching, and grooming that interest..

To ask why there is no interest in new combos, one would have to ask, WHO WILL RACE THEM??

in 10 years from now, stock, super stock, comp will be decimated due to the large loss of racers. Just walk their lanes at any divisional starting next month and start counting the racers that will be retired from racing or dead by then. The numbers should scare you.

NHRA's new engine classes are a bit much, right? Building my 2014 Challenger on a budget is a ride. Not sure about NHRA's V6 move at 305, though.
