Still big in the East and Midwest. Over 120 Stockers at the Dutch, Indy points meet was nuts. Stock, Super Stock, .90, Top Sportsman and Top Dragster are all popular.


Drag racing is still big. If you think you see fewer Super Pro or class cars or whatever, just remember. Back in the 70s and 80s, there was NHRA & IHRA class racing, match racing and local brackets. That's it.

Now there's NHRA, IHRA, PDRA, NPK, NMCA, NMRA, NEOPMA, MWPMS, Duck X and the whole drag radial scene, SFG, Fling, and other big money bracket racing groups, SBRA and other regional bracket groups, NT organizations, Pro Stick, No Prep, Cash Days, Nostalgia/Heritage Series, no less than 20 regional S/SS and dot 90 organizations listed on Class Racer, plus the local tracks are still running their weekly shows.

That's a lot of cars and big variety of cars. And a lot of money being spent.

Doesn't sound like it's dying to me. The popularity of some of it comes and goes. Sport compact has fizzled out.
