“Spectators?” You have them at your track...?

The guy who wrote the rule book isn't a racer.

It's heads up when two cars leave on the same light and the guy who gets there first, wins. That's a heads up race.

Don’t read anything past the heads up type tree and you got it. I have nothing against it but a heads up tree isn’t heads up Racing. Lite flashes smash the loud pedal and first one to the line wins. There ain’t no looking over your shoulder in heads up Racing.

If you're running for a number (index) whether you choose it or the class dictates it and you lose by running under that number it's not a heads up race. There are no break outs in a heads up race, period.

irregardless back to the original statement, let the pro stock camaro run its course,people will get tired of it and ratings will plunge, support the true sportsmen, grass roots racers, we are the ones that keep this sport alive at our local tracks, now Dave Rieff is leaving NHRA, left with Tony, really? another reason not to watch!!

Brian Lohnes will do an outstanding job, Tony, not so much.

I have to admit I haven't watched NHRA Drag racing on TV all year especially NHRAs version of IROC were all the cars are the same only different colors which is what Pro Stock is now. I did watch the World Finals to see if my friend was on the starting line as he was crewing on a N.J. Based Pro Stock team. On the subject of TV did anyone catch the segment of " Madam Secretary" filmed at Raceway Park? Showing a Stock car at a former drag strip. Kind of opened up some old wounds for me. Wrong on two accounts, they didn't race Stock cars there and it's no longer a car racing facility.

The nhra started killing PS several years ago, instead of cutting it's throat (think PS truck) they've made a series of small cuts to allow the class to slowly bleed to death.

Money (and the nhra) will ruin the factory showdown class too, it's already becoming a rich persons playground. I'll enjoy watching it while I can.

Exactly. Great observation.
