If someone can figure out how to get around those two facts, then you've got something

YEAH you got a point but what ever its intent it brings some interest to Drag Racing.

TO me it is just Legalizing Street Racing so it is done on TV.
Stuff I use to do when I was a kid and not a lot of brains.

BUT for the TV promotion HELL YEAH...

We have a lot of Stockers we can do this same bragging right challenge the same way.

Creating controversy and settling it..
Such as bring out and restore the old Pro Stockers or the FX Stock Cars.
409's, 426 wedge, 421's, GTO, GSx, Hemi and so forth.

Put them on TV ..I guarantee it will get a following.
Bring the mysteries and legends back.

Hell who has the fastest V Stocker.
Cars are interesting and it is about time we brag about our passion !

In fact this is what our sanctioning bodies should be doing to educate and draw interest in our sport.
It is about reviewing history, nostaglia, challenging the minds with the new rides out there.

What it does is bring in business..

Then lets *** teh Foreign Makes..!
You want contovery..

So dammit BRING IT ON !!

it is all FUN !!

For two consecutive National events the PRO's held court by themselves (plus some Alky cars) and not that any sportsmen racers were there to witness it but has anyone heard how the experiment went? Granted, weather was a factor and sure the Lucas Oil competitors were thankful for being able to run their rounds without the track prep(?) for fuel cars. But has anyone heard it was a success from NHRA's perspective? From ESPN's perspective I'm sure they enjoyed the "drama" of shorter turnaround times for the Pros but do the typical fans really enjoy seeing less variety and fewer cars going down the track?
