S/SS and drag racing in general

Wade,

There are plenty of young people Class racing in the heads-up ranks in NMRA, NMCA, and other sanctions.

I am a die-hard NHRA racer, but there are advantages to racing elsewhere. They get to use new parts that work well and are easy to find, racing is heads-up, there is lots of coverage in magazines, fewer races, etc. The biggest thing is the use of power adders and the fact that $30,-50,000 gets you a really nice high 9 or 10-second stocker, the same money gets you in the 8s in other forms of racing.

Of course, NHRA has many advantages, but the younger crowd seems to like the heads-up stuff.
