I could give a rat's patoot about the fuel cars but always watch Pro Stock,Stock,Super Stock and Super Gas and Super Street if it's running.Also like Comp eliminator. I actually prefer going to the Divisional races where they run the "sportsman" classes. I can enjoy a good bracket race just as much. I have a friend that races Super Gas and he says many of the touring "sportsman" racers feel drag racing is soon facing a transition in the way things are run. Sorry for straying off topic somewhat....I for one like the new style Pro Stockers. Been a fan of the class since they were running times some stock eliminator cars are now running.
What do you mean by transition? After this year I'm going to see how things go and was debating trying to get my Nhra license. Just curious as to what kind of changes I might be facing.[/QUOTE
I don't think he was talking about anything drastic happening over night so I wouldn't worry too much. Entry fees have become a bigger expense as has fuel to get there.Expenses keep going up but payout's don't.Even contingency pay has become a big hassle for some products. They just feel like the ugly stepchild compared to the Pro's but I think it's probably always been that way.
If NHRA wants to put people in the stands...cut the ticket price...

And what most people fail to realize , is that without the Sportsman classes, there would be no professional racing!
i dont care to watch the fuel cars....I like the pro stockers...have been watching them since 1972...
the racing is close....wins by thousands....hole shots wins...exciting...to each his own...
...the only difference between them will be decals.
It's already happened. Look at the profile of the Camaros, Mustangs, Avengers, Camrys and now the Darts. If it wasn't for the decals we wouldn't know who to root for.
I enjoy all the pro fuel and door slammer classes but I like to go watch during qualifying when the real stock classes run at the end of the day.
