Having drag raced my entire life,we have seen a lot of changes in the sport,some good and some not so good.We have seen the the best of times and the worst of times in our sport.We respect everyone's thoughts and opinions and have a few of our own.To be able to share those thoughts and opinions on an open forum gives eveyone an opportunity to wade through the comments and decide what has substance and what is bowl shtz.One does not have to be a racer to have an opinion,they just have to have an interest in our sport. Our thoughts as to the short comming and possible down fall of the sport is the greed we see from track and event owners and managers.They seem to want to pocket the profits and not reinvest in the sport.Many racers feel their class or type of racing is the utmost of importance,their incorrect for the sport to survive all types of classes,dragracing,fans and enthusast must find a reason for their interest. Too much time is spent being arguing or debating personal remarks,we should all be trying to find and share solutions to save our sport.
That's not the case around here Bob. After the BIG bracket race boom, everybody around here got used to running for 5k purses all the time with low entry fees. Now it's not "worth" it for them to race for small money and they sure won't pay more entry fees and the bleachers are like a ghost town......so where do they expect the track to get the money to pay those big purses?.......Most all tracks around here have gone to strictly TnT with the occasional heads up races and MAYBE a bracket race once a month or less. It was that or close the gates
