Be happy with what you have now. The average spectator wants to see a show of some sort for his dollar. Without spectators you have nothing. Thats exactly why they vacate the stands when you guys run. They have better things to do and are not interested. You can quote me all you want as I just dont care anymore. I went thru this crap when Top Stock was started years ago with all of the whinning and complainning and I just dont need it or you. Have a nice life.

Gentlemen,

You're arguing a moot point. For the last 5 years I've laid out of class racing but have been to a number of national and regional events as a spectator.

After the fuel cars run a good 50% of the people leave the stands for the hot dog stand, when you guy's run the only people that are left in the stands are your crew and relatives and guys like me that appreciate the classes. So, what difference does it make how fast or slow the car goes a vast majority are still eating their hot dogs and watching John Force and crew go through their antics.

I would bet that 90% of fans have absolutely no idea the dynamics of our classes. I always heard people ask why one car leaves before the other, comments on how slow the cars were including the upper class cars, and they don't understand how the slower car could win.

Our part of the show just is not spectator friendly unless they are extremely knowledgeable, so arguing about the fwd's being slow are moot...the fans think all our cars are slow...although some like watching us for the wheel stands we do.

How I see it.
