If it weren't for the NHRA there would be no drag racing. Think about that before crapping on them.

I went channel surfing every time Hight pulled into the burnout box last year in the final race.
BobR; I respect your opinion but "Who made Who?"

I guess I have gotten used to the whole 24/7 Force coverage thing because it didn't bother me as much as it used to.
I actually was happy to see the old man win one for once.
Edwards driving right around Anderson in the PS final after he treed him was a highlight too lol.

Twenty years ago I would agree with you. After racing under Gardner and now the ex dog food salesman I don't. If Compton can figure out how to cash out NHRA without the state of CA getting the money, he will do it. He has already tried once.

I saw a lot of empty seats especialy on the spectator side. Yes NHRA did a lot of great things in the past and makes it possible for most of us to race. But the last couple of years the mgmt has made a lot of bad decisions and they are in it for the $$$ losing sight of what is the backbone of the sport , bracket racers and sportsman racers. They are after the " Big Show , Big $$$" which is losing its appeal rapidly. Stars are leaving the sport and how long can they continue to survive and appeal to the fan carrying on about the Forces and the Dixon/ Schumacher rivalry? They refuse to believe that there is anything wrong with the economy and have done nothing to easen the financial burden on the sportsman/bracket racer, to make more money to line their pockets they double fees and raise ticket prices and entry fees.
