No doubt Carey. Wes still has a love for NHRA/IHRA and sportsman racers but he's right about the popularity of it and how the spectators seem to love the rivalries that the outlaw/grudge type racing has. The rivalries of the 60's and early 70's is a large part of the popularity of drag racing to spectators during that period of time.I think motor racing as a whole has gotten too politically correct and the rivalries have diminished.

The Factory Stock cars and Hemi Shootouts, etc. could be built up but it's like most of the participants and promoters just overlook the marketability of it all. JMT.
