Re: What can be done?
Factory showdown was to be the regular guys prostock heads up pro tree all 3 manufacturers starting life as real cars. But it is following in the footsteps of PS but moving way faster to oblivion in only a few years you already have pro teams taking over, NHRA changing what is allowed from the original build and the cost to enter for just a car to be competitive is at least 200 grand plus trailer motorhome equipment spare parts crew and travel. For NHRA to even stay alive in the future it needs to come up with ways for various classes to run heads up that is what the people in the seats understand and want to see. When I started racing in the mid 60s every stock class car ran heads up against the others in there class and the winner of each class then ran in a handicap format for overall stock eliminator. And the stands were full at all the tracks and the people in the stands understood what was going on.
