I've stated for a number of years that NHRA will end up the way of the monster trucks. A private firm will buy the National Event portion of the show where they own the cars and pay the crews. Drivers will be personalities with rivalries abound. NHRA will maintain control on a divisional/ local level as the sanctioning body.

In this particular case, I'm all for it! If this goes well, a wheelie contest for height and distance to follow.
