That's very true. I just thought the contrast in the attention paid to the SO "stars" vs. the Top Fuel WC was interesting, especially since this was an event for trade/racers only, not star gazing fans.

I have competed at many National events and don't remember being there for only one day. It appears it has changed and I have empathy for those who paid $400.00(?) for just one day at the Winternationals.

those that idolize these guys are fans of the circus, fans of a reality tv show not racers and never will be. Grown men asking for autographs says it all.

1320,
Your divisive remarks on this forum are uncalled for and unappreciated. What year were you enshrined in the drag racing Hall of Fame?

Sixty years ago it wasn't about the benjamins. To many working at the divisional events it still isn't. I don't think we do a very good job promoting ourselves.

I was reading a couple post back, two time-shots and then back at first round at like 8:00. It is what it is. Any big race you are going to be waiting for hours to run. Big $$$ Bracket racing, win 1st round at 8am might not get back out until 6pm, and run all night until a winner is crowned. A national is the same thing, I would hate to run a nation without the crowd. Pulling up in the semis at a national, with the stands packed, on a sunday afternoon, gave me a whole different feeling.
