The longest lines I saw at SEMA were for some UFC meatheads. At that same time you could have walked right up to Richard Petty, Don Garlits or Linda Vaughn with no waits. I found that odd for a car event.

"As seen on TV" still carries some weight. Force still gets big lineups even though his reality TV show was over years ago.

If you really want to see what real NHRA drag racing is and how it works present day check out Southeast Gassers Association. They run strict 1967 NHRA gasser rules(there are some modern day exception) and they fill the stands and have new cars being built every season. One of the Stott brothers from Pro Mod fame, started this style of racing with 2 cars. You can find events on you tube. I can see this taking off and moving up the east coast and having a Mason/Dixon rivalry.The racers are also real people and real racers.Check it out.

Off the top of my head... must use clutch to shift, stick car only, parts available 'til 1967 are eligible for use, 10.5 or 11" tire, no electronics, older style Holleys, etc. They are very particular with tech. Many cars have problems passing.
