Re: Another low car count?
Drag racing especially st/sst is no different from the rest of the world. It takes money to make money. When you have a guy like Dan Fletcher quit running a class altogether because guys are coming in w/100,000 drag pak challengers and mustangs its a sign that the apocalypse is upon us. You wanna improve car counts? Eliminate heads up class racing at nat events and pts races. Why you say? Because it would make it fair for everyone not just the dickjockeys w/the big wallets and factory backed cars [no offense to those guys]. I know slate cummings and i know that he would not say anything about it because hes a classy sumbitch but that man criscrossed the country and kicked *** all year long and lost the world championship because of a heads up race. To me thats appalling. It may sound like sour grapes coming from a low buck racer but if you think car counts are low now wait till guys like me stop coming. In my humble opinion everything that goes down a drag strip should have a dial-in on it. Top fuel funny car pro stock maybe not. Personally I think that would be entertaining to watch because Bob Bode winning last year was a fluke. The Lagana boys the greek the 10 -16 qualified guys virtually never win. Every other class dial-ins every run down the track. Then the guy w/the a/sa 69 camaro that can outdrive the **** out of the guy in the new mustang or challenger but can only run a 10.20 still has a chance. Then car counts go through the roof. By the way its a crime that superstreet is not run at indy.Peace
