Topside, Just trying to make a point and taking what you said at face value.

"I can cross that track off the list of NHRA races I might attend"

Since the track hosts two NHRA national events a year seems a bit drastic to just dismiss the track as a whole. Given that logic I assume you will never attend either race at Z Max dragway either. Seems kind of short sided for someone with a long history of supporting drag racing.

In retrospect, the Wally comment was not appropriate to aim at you. That was just me interjecting my opinion on one of the things I see wrong with NHRA.

Keep up the fight and support drag racing anyway you can. We are loosing racers at a rapid pace these days and they are not being replaced by younger racers. The guys I know here and replying to this thread are not spring chickens either. When they go who will be there to replace them.
