Sad but true, it seems that NHRA has elected to "dumb down" their National events, to cater to the "fans" that don`t care about anything that doesn`t burn nitro. Years ago, as spectators, a bunch of us would drive 20 plus hours from Vancouver BC Canada, to attend the Winternationals, and stay for the entire 4 days. Since I sold my Stocker several years ago, I would still typically drive the 3 hours for the Seattle National, but only for Friday, so we could watch the Stock or S/S cars run. Still went to California on holidays, planned around either the Winters or Finals at Pomona, or Vegas,but again , usually only for Thursday or Friday,to watch Stock or S/S. I haven`t watched a Nitro car go down the track, or stay for a Saturday or Sunday in probably 15 years, unless I was racing. Sad, but thats what happens when you replace genuine car guys in upper management, with business majors and entertainment " experts".
