You are so right Billy. Those legends should be embarrassed to participate in such a idiotic spectacle. Some drag pack cars or copo Camaro or cobra jet mustangs that are race prepped might be okay. I don’t think the fans want to see that crap. They want to see racing.

Billy here are the new "Dime Rockets" for 2020.
Those sporty mirrors up front on the Celica could come in handy while being chased.

Canadians buy millions of U.S vehicles every year. Unlike Mexico,Canada wage structure is even higher in Canada than the U.S. Toyota and Nissan have some very fast cars. Open yourself to something new, if you don,t NHRA will be doomed tp fail in this new era.Don’t forget that kids now aren’T interested in the automobile anymore.CR

And I wasn't even trying to piss you guys off.

I have no idea - how what you said is relevant.

Complain to Big - he is getting paid.

Give it a rest. I am sure you can not.
