Congratulations to all on what sounds like a very successful event. Reading the post reminds me that we, as Americans, are now, and have always been, the prime motive force in the world. Though some have tried to make us feel ashamed of it, Americans have the reputation for living our lives by the credo "lead, follow, or get out of the way". We don't wait for things to happen, we MAKE them happen. With NHRA seemingly not sure of where it's going (or how it's going to get there), racers waited patiently through "lead" and "follow", and finally said (politely) "Please get out of the way; we'll just do it ourselves". And they have. All across America, local class racer organizations have sprung up, led and supported by racers who accept the reality that you are responsible for your own life and happiness. If you want, go get it. Again, congratulations, folks.
