Not doubting your contention, MJ
The question then is "why"?
I would say that some have never known anything else.
Bracket racing and T&T nights may have kept many tracks open, but it was also the beginning of the end for younger folks' interest in NHRA, IHRA class type racing...in my opinion.

The NHRA is long overdue for a complete restructuring of management, classes, schedule and events. They just went through a change in leadership, but very little has been changed otherwise. I believe that is because they run it like the Clinton Foundation, claiming the majority of dollars taken in are for salaries, travel and admin fees, while paying out a tiny percentage of money to the cause that the damn organization was started for! Unfortunately for the public, the leaders of these orgs will let them fail before they would restructure. The IRS should require non-profits to use 99% of the money they take in to promote the cause, which in this case is having a safe place to race our cars.

Teddy, the key word is YOUNG....after a while the whole NHRA thing just wears on you. They just flat take the FUN out of this sport. You remember FUN, the REASON we all started racing .....But it takes YEARS to get to that point. This Midwest Class Racers deal ...I think they are really onto something ....
