Drag racing is on very shaky ground, for me, because as population has grown it's gotten harder to find a track that is tolerable. A lot of tracks have gone to 1/8th mile, and even those are so crowded it's a beating to go. I'm not big on killing an entire day just to make 2 or 3 runs. And I'm amazed that for every car that makes a clean run down the track there is still car that pukes coolant or breaks or does something to shut down the action for 30 minutes. What is it with ricers, fart tips, and those ear-splitting backfires they all seem to emit?? And the posing has gotten out of hand....the last time I went, they weren't even posting the times/MPH on the board because several of the 'big gun' racers didn't want their times publicly displayed. Compared to 25 years ago, I can't see any aspect that's gotten anything but worse.
