Racing has gotten to far from what drew people to it.. nowdays nascar and Nhra all money and people have lost there association with a local guy and his buddies that work late every night on there car that they are all in on.

I heard shearer say "my daddy aint got the money for me to go play with them guys" sadly this hits the nail on the head.. Just a bunch of rich guys now days..
If you watch the show you'd know there is plenty of advertising and sponsoring going on. They are just more discreet about it. You don't see a single guy that isn't wearing a t shirt with some racing product on it. and the big banners hanging in every shop that they show.
When the show stared every one was coming in on open trailers and pickup full of friends in the back. Now nothing but enclosed trailers and the rigs are getting bigger every show. Pretty much like the progression of the legal racers. wont take long and they will disappear like pinks did.
