Drag Racing is Dying
I went to a div. race at topeka some time back, they`re were 156 dragsters in comp et bracket. 1 had a small block chrysler of some sort, 1 had a sbc, the rest were rat motored-all looked alike-all had delay boxes, crossovers and all, was absolutely the most boring part of the whole race, I went back and hung around my buddies superstocker. was way more intereting! I would rather watch real cars any day, of course they need to be fast-nosalgia cars rock!!--jmoNo prep and no times is the leading for front of drag racing these days. Bracket tracing has gone stale and is old timers still living the life of the old ways i grew up around bracket racing and it bores me to tears. I cant stand it. Class heads up racing on small tires is gonna be a blast. No prep and no times just seems more illegal legit type of setting many could grasp. So these type of events draw major crowds and now have a damn tv show called street outlaws or something. Those guys are the for front to the new era of drag racing. Big crowds, money wagering in the stands and trash talking. Not my ideal track setting or crowd but seems much more appealing to me than brackets and billionaires with paid sponsors of redbull, pepsi, or valvoline. At least i can converse or understand the no prep crowd as they are more like me than the others are. They are not dogging me for anything other than being part of the event. Nk cuz i drove a slow street car to a dragster delay box race.(yawn)
