Tough to hear and regrettably I bear as much responsibility as others for not supporting them, especially since they raced within 200 miles of me on their Rockingham visit.

NHRA has to sharpen their pencil and come up with strategies to survive or suffer a similar fate.

How do you figure?

NMCA had 603 competitors this year if you total up the number of names in points in each class. Most of these competitors only ran 1 or 2 races. NHRA has more entries than that on the ground in St Louis right now as I type.

Pure demographics, more are aging out than are being replaced. All racing venues are stressed by inflation, insurance costs, land values, etc. Ten years from now the racing scene will change dramatically and NHRA has to stay ahead of the game. Inserting a class occasionally or in the case of Mountain Motor Pro Stock just reviving an old one is not strategic, it?s knee jerk.
