Last week-end at the Virginia National I enjoyed watching a competitor in Super Comp going 218 mph with his alcohol supercharged big block, he would gently leave the starting line sit for about 4.5 second dead in the water and then all of a sudden take off like a bat out of hell! Racer who race in super comp should be worried about how fan have no interest in their cars, I know I would. Look how stock has brought new fans with their super competitive time (wheel stand doesn't hurt either) the different body styles and so on. Nobody want's to see or pay to watch dragster that could be operated by Nintendo teenagers from the stand. NHRA better wake up, I can remember talking with Steve Cohen at Sanair during his Championship year all he had was a reaction timer and a simple bolt limiting the throttle. Claude Ruel L1108stk

They don't care about any goose. No goose ever laid an egg that was golden anyway.
Why do you hate to explain something to someone. Let me guess, you don't understand it, can't afford it, or you are being lazy. Let's take a poll.
I ran the 218 mph car at a race, very fun. He had me by 48 mph at the finish line but I got there first.
I see the same amount of spectators in the stands in both classes so you stockers should be worried, not us. We have twice as many competitors in our classes normally also. Besides we are nearly twice as fast ( 218 fastest vs. 120 - not even close ).
