BTW, I would just love dragging my stuff around to these races because the big sponsors would stay with the cars/people they already have leaving everybody else with absolutely no chance of winning. Pro Stock would encompass the same thing.
You want everyone with the exception of sportsman racers and the richest people in drag racing to en cure no out of pocket money just the low end of the professional ranks to foot the tab. Oh, I get it, you were kidding right.
No,I was serious as a heart attack.A lot of the dragsters are injected fuel combos already.
In TA/FC after Frank,everybody else is racing for R/U at a race and #2 in the country.
You'll probably lose some teams.How many competitive teams are in T/F now?How many in F/C?Backing down the fuel cars will open up the amount of cars to fill 28 car fields and maybe make the racing closer and what NHRA wants,more entertaining.After all we're in the entertainment business now.
The budgets would get smaller with the backing down of power and the use of only two engines per race.
Uh,alcohol cars aren't pros,they're supposed to be the top of the sportsman ranks.
I assume that you're either an owner/driver/crew member on an alcohol team.Sorry if you took offense to what I proposed,because it will never happen anyway.
BTW speaking of incurrung expenses.The rest of us lowly sportsman pay into your purse
money.I think we deserve a tip of the hat for that.Your welcomed.
