David,

Doing it, and watching it are apparently two different things... kinda like sex.

My concern is with the TV show and the low-iq images it displays to the the public about drag racers.

I saw a show recently wherein these guys ended up with a sledge hammer beating the floorboard of a pickup truck because there was no room for the recently-installed shifter to move. It was incredible..

Drag racing has an uphill battle with the general public at best... it doesn't NEED this kind of negative image.

I just think that organized drag racing in general would be better off without the skewed perception that this show provides the general viewing public with... Most class racers are VERY SMART individuals... but, not the intellectually-deprived "racers" I've seen on "PINKS."

Just my 2-cents.
