We are NOT customers. WE are the show. You must get over the customer mentality. The folks in the stands are the customers. They are there strictly to see racecars. We bring the racecars. And yes, the racers absolutely deserve more !

WRONG again! I hate to tell you, but Top Fuel, Funny Car, and Pro Stock are the show. We are what you would call the "grass roots".
Ive never seen the thousands of fans actually stay in the stands to watch stock or super stock, they go buy hot dogs and John Force T-Shirts.
More and more racers are acting like people should bow down to them because they are "the show". But we are far from the show, we are just a bunch of guys that show up to have fun... AHEM, we show up to make our millions running stock.
And yes, I will stick to my oildown rule statement. If you take care of your car 9 times out of 10 you should catch the problem before you tear it up. And if you really care you would race more IHRA, which I believe you do.
The main problem here is that everyone thinks that they DESERVE everything, and that they know how to run the show. Here is where the problem lies, you dont run the show. NHRA does.
