4) It's on TV every day! Pinks is in your face all the time.

5) Rich Christenson keeps coming up with novel ways to change the format SLIGHTLY.

6) The entry fee does not force you to mortagage your family!

7) The concept employs the KISS principle. It's simple for a part time drag racer!

8) It has appeal amongst the old school and the new school racer.

9) It FLAT puts butts in the seats!

I dare say Rich now runs as many or more races as the NHRA has national events. Quite an accomplishment for 5 years in existence.

Yep, Christensen counts the people, the cars, and the ideas.....the Glendora Bean Counters just count money.
