Re: How do YOU..... promote drag racing?
You know, I was thinking today about something that nobody has mentioned. I think most of us look at an NHRA National Event Win as the ultimate prize. Indy would ofcourse be the top, and a World Championship as well. Either of these would place one in the NHRA history book forever. But what would happen if we did'nt blow our oun horn just a little? What would happen if we just turned the other cheek and accepted the next NHRA beat down? How long will it be before they say "we don't need you anymore"? If you look at the car counts at any track, they all point the wrong way!
Think about the veteran/retired (racers) that have built racing to what it is today. They made major sacrafices in life and paved the way for you and I to race! The past winners and champions deserve to be remembered forever in my opinion. If we let the sport/class die, so will their memory. What good is winning the ultimate prise when nobody cares anyway. Class racers commited most of their life to automotive performance, and it would be a shame to let them be forgotten. It is important that all racers keep in mind that you have a place to race.
USE IT OR LOOSE IT!!......STRENGTH IN NUMBERS
I want to personally say to the veteran and retired racers:
THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU DID !
