Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying any of the AH guys are bad drivers. I'm just reflecting on how some of the ex bracket guys who turned pro have dominated their ranks from the driving perspective; ie: Connoly,Couglin, and possibly now Langdon. Nobody has more respect for the AH group than I do but I would enjoy seeing any of them win the eliminator a couple times a year to increase the attention to, and respect for the breed.

When guys like Ronnie Sox were dominating in their Hemi cars I strutted around waving my Drag News just waiting to show off their latest win.
Of course I know their primary goal is to knock each other off and claim the new record but it would be icing on the cake for me to see them in the winner's circle as well.....and not just by beating each other. Trust me, they will all be gone by third round at Pomona.

That's my story...and I'm stuck with it.
