Some of you guys must never go anywhere. Decent tickets to a top name in concert are going to be at least $100 each. Add in $11 beers and $7 sodas......

I made it out on Friday. Only reason I went was to support my longtime friend Alex Miladinovich - Hot 4 Teacher Nitro Funnycar-who just got his Nitro Funny car license. This is a guy who built his own chassis in his garage and runs the deal on his own dime for the most part. He qualified, ran 1st round and lost... but this gives me hope that NHRA is not a total waste.

We just went to The Blue Man Group. 2.5 hours, $70.00 non premium tickets, (7 of them), $11 tiny Bailey’s and $21 “double” Seagrams. My granddaughters loved the show, so it was worth it😉.

I don’t think most of you guys realize how big some of these tracks are compared to years ago. Come to Summit Raceway Park this summer and get an eye opener on how many people are at the track. Camera placement also comes into play as most of the spectators try to sit on the same did that the teams are parked on to save lots of extra walking between rounds. You would also be surprised to see how many spectators go to the stands only while the Sportsman cars are racing. They could care less about the fuel teams. So NOW ... the cheesyBURGHERguy is suggesting that NHRA put all those HUGE NEW STANDS UP for spectators to view the Alky dragsters and funny cars and COMP eliminator and Super Gas ? Oh cHeEzY ... me thinks yurr running OUTA gAs !

What the hell is going on with ticket sales I looked at ticket sales because they normally go on Friday and they’re Usually like 25 bucks I checked yesterday and it’s $77 for Friday I went on Friday and tickets were $50 for general admission at the gate. I got to see all the door cars run which is the reason I go on Friday’s. When TF ran the stands were full on the one side. They also included free NHRA museum. They had max limit of stock and SS cars there but other fields were not full. I hope they allow more stock and SS cars and grow NHRA. The midway was very small. If NHRA goes by the way side it’s not going to help any of us! We had a great time and the weather was great on Friday!!!

Grow it? They're trying to shrink it. Running people off. I remember there being like 120 cars in all of the sportsman classes. The Manufacturers Midway was like a mini-PRI show with product being given away to racers. $15-18K to win if the car was stickered right. $250 to enter for car, driver and a crew person. Only needed a couple of brownie points to get in. Not like that now.
If the results don't match the theory, change the theory.

Anyone know the winternats sportsman FS program schedule? GOTTA SEA how the stands magically FILL UP when the Super Gas cars start running  Why who said the stands fill up. Are you hearing voices in your head again. Better get back on your meds or see your doctor to see if they have to up the dosage. I’ll keep you in my Prayers.
