Less people going to see the crap show means more money for the tickets . Big business still wants the money no matter who it hurts. Kinda like raising the minimum wage.

Everything NHRA increases in price, including membership.
Interesting that 5 TF cars are sitting out for Pomona - bad for the fans, though.
I'd wager the no-show deal is in response to the new Countdown rules.

Making up for the sportsman cars they won't allow to enter.


If the results don't match the theory, change the theory.

Years ago the president of NHRA was taking out $750,000 in pay. Pretty sad. I believe they could find someone with a love of the sport to do that job for $100,000. He wants you to make him rich.

Supposedly Torrence is out because he refused to pay his fine for being a little bish at the Finals last year.

NHRA has hired and retired more CEO than I can remember in the past 25 yrs, they have gone off the rails from its original intent whiney

According to Nitromater and Classracer, NHRAtv is not working either. New year - SOS.

I believe nhra.tv only works on the days that the TF and Funny cars runs....meaning no TV on Thursday....

Only the audio would be available on Thursday....will find out tomorrow...

I’ve had it since it was first offered but didn’t renew this year. I can’t stand Pro Stock anymore and although I really enjoyed watching top fuel and funny car qualifying when they cut back on track prep to keep speeds down all it has become is a tire spinning contest with one or two cars making clean passes.

Edelbrock headed 408

I did not get a chance to use it yesterday, but this year all days have video.

It was supposed to be on yesterday.

I have subscribed to it from the start, not perfect but has been getting better every year. The switch to the system Sony runs was a huge improvement.

Prostock is horrible. Basically NASCAR in a straight line and just as boring.

I kinda compare the NHRA to our government. Has grown too much, way too much overhead. When you try to give every employee's family member and their friends a job. It just spirals out of control. It is called very bad management. Afraid to say no! And there you have my two cents worth.
