How about those complaining about the sport dying, start promoting instead? Is the ticket price for a NHRA event high? Maybe, but what isn't today? If I go to a National Event on a Friday, I get a ENTIRE day of racing, and can walk the pits all I want. How much does it cost to see a Baseball, or Football game for 3 hours? We don't live in 1960's times for the cost of things. Don't want to spend that much? Hit up your local tracks. They would love to see you. Support them. Pay your $10 entry, and hit up the concessions. Buy a T shirt... You will still get a FULL days worth of entertainment for less than $100.
