Choices are 1) keep going and "participating" when ever Class is run and run points meets as a participant without caring no one comes to see (for 1000 reasons)
2) keep hoping NHRA will have an attack of common sense or Crisis and develop a need for a crowd who likes S and SS.
3) sell your stuff when appropriate and take up a hobby where no one controls your goals and participation with the stroke of an ignorant pen.
I personally chose #3. I have a cruise in 409. I take it out of the garage " when I want to" I drive it WHERE I want to. I take it where hundreds of people love it too and respect it for its history. I do not compete with any rules or governance. I just GO there on my schedule or NOT. I control ALL my hobby. I even work on it IF I want to not in a hurry to arrive or get a parking spot or a campground. I eat at the booths, get a sunburn, visit fellow car lovers and look at old AMERICAN car parts and cars.
I am much more relaxed as I only deal with my rules of go "if I want to do it, I go."
Good Luck!
