The whole point is to draw fans to the sport, then hey, NHRA makes more money. Fans can potentially become drivers, again NHRA makes more money.

The "SUITS" AT NHRA are not in it for the SPORT.....they only care about profits !!
Nobody left in Glendora that care about the sportsman side of the show !

All the doom and gloom about the lack of young people involved in the sport has to be addressed, Have any of you looked at the average age of the racers in lets just say stock
at a large race ? use Vegas as a example if you consider the age you say is young to be under 40 to 45 then take a look at the entry sheet... A ton of drivers under 45.
I come from a family that has been racing for many years and I owe everything to them for
getting and keeping me involved over the years even when we were not racing.
How come I have not heard one person say that maybe we should as racers keep our kids involved just like you would do with Baseball,Basketball, Football, and other youth sports.
alot of the blame needs to be put on society and us as parents as to how we raise our kid's.
Yes the cost has gone up, But so has every other sport . We need the older racer's, They are who we learn from and without you
this sport will die. So why don't more of you support us the so called younger racer's and keep this sport alive and don't give up. Don't let the Divide and conquer theory NHRA has make you quit this sport or workplace for some.......
