You're kidding right? There is no more "Win on Sunday, sell on Monday"! There's no way that winning PS or FS on Sunday is going to influence any number of people to go and buy a new Camaro on Monday! The "fans in the stands" are showing up in their SUVs and sub-compacts to be "entertained" and that is what the NHRA is catering to.

What WE (the NHRA S/SS Racers) need to find a way to sell is the incredible "Car Show" that we put on at every event we're at. And enclosed trailers and early rounds on Friday don't help OUR cause.
