It's a tough call. It may be the most widely supported class as far as number of participants is concerned, but the NHRA seems to care less and less as time goes on. At the national event level, why limit sportsman entries if all they do is put extra money in NHRA's pockets? Tech has pretty much become non-existent for most races except for Indy. Entry fees have gone up with little increase in the purse. I don't think we will ever be "sh!t-canned." That didn't go so well with Pro-stock truck. I think what may eventually happen, is they are hoping that we will just sort of "go-away" if they slowly stop supporting our class. Not to mention the elephant in the room being the fact that probably at least 50% of the participants are going to be "aged out" of racing sooner than we would like to admit.
