Just sitting here thinking about the old days of drag racing compared to now days.
I personally am an old school guy and find it hard to change to the new times of drag racing....Luckly my son was raised up during my prime time experience in drag racing and has been involved in the changing of our sport...
I know things have to change ,but don't you think back in the old days we respected the sport a whole lot more...Look at stock and superstock how it has changed, the $$$ it takes now to have fun and all the choices we have in finding the right class or car that you want...Throttle-stops ,combo class wins , sometimes no class run-offs (just pick fastest car per class for the win) over and under-rated cars........Enhancements $$$$$
Not bashing here ,just wondering how some of you feel about the changes that have gone on in the years.. I am still enjoying it ,especially to see my son doing what i loved all my life doing....
Some changes are good and some not.
I guess my question is what do you or do you not like now.....and what would you like to see change......?
