"Racing is killing Drag Racing"

The issue as I see it is that there are just too many national events. Back in the old days there were 4-5 nationals a year, TV coverage was weeks delayed on Wide World of Sports, and the teams could make a living match racing.

Now, with 23+ national events, same day TV coverage, and instant internet results, match racing is dead.

Travel expenses alone are out of sight for the teams, and people don't need to go to a local track to see their hero anymore.

Racing is a victim of it's own success/excess.

Force may only be able to bring 2 cars and 5 transporters now.
