National events should be heads up racing. If it's an index race leave it at the local level.
I want to see pro mods, outlaw 10.5, pro street and fuel altereds. Throw in some outlaw 8.5, and a factory experimental class and I might buy a circus ticket again.
Although I will admit it's fun to watch the guys in Top Dragster drive the stripe.
I've never understood throttle stop classes. Why take a car that can run 7.50 and put it on a stop to run 8.90 or 9.90?
I bracket race and understand it's not a spectator sport for the most part. I'll go and watch brackets when my car is not running (now), but no way I'd walk across the street to watch a throttle stop race. Nothing personal against anyone who does it or likes it. It's just not my bag.
