Re: is it just my imagination ?
Yea I read about that earlier this week and thought it was rediculous myself. Legends of an AMERICAN sport racing each other in Toyota’s. Really !!!!! 👎🏻👎🏻

Ha ha ha,are you kidding,NHRA is headed down the same path as NASCAR with this type of stupidity!
NHRA take note if you chase away your core fan base you will never get them back,just like NASCAR did.... |

Re: is it just my imagination ?
Sadly, there was a room full of executives just outside of Glendora,Ca. that believe Drag racing fans want to see their all time greats competing in Toyota’s....Blasphemy.....They don’t have a clue.....

Re: is it just my imagination ?
Those executives only want to see the check Toyota gives them.
It is always about the money. Wonder if the All Time Greats get it? Are they following the $$ Might be a good subject for Competition Plus

And even Warren Johnson is participating in this farce? Life is indeed stranger than fiction.

I liked the Tee shirt NASCAR fans wore when Toyota first started. "Toyota brought to you by the people that bombed Pearl Harbour" I know the war is over , Still funny in a NASCAR kind of way.

B.F.D. I bracket raced a Toyota Tercel my first year and my skin didn't fall off. It's just 3,000 lbs of metal going down a race track.
They make their trucks in Texas and Indiana, by the way. Be happy that someone is forking over sponsorship dollars.
