To be honest, I'm not sure when class racing will "end" completely. Toyota has announced that 2025 will be their last season in the Pro categories. I would be more inclined to believe that the Pro classes are going to fizzle out before the sportsman classes. We don't really need manufacturer support to continue racing our classes, but they do. I would think that in the next 10 years, if NHRA politely tells us to "piss off," I'm sure there will be a surge in association races around the country. I am also concerned about the amount of Stock/SS drivers that are, for lack of a better term, going to "age out" in the next 10-15 years, but I don't think it will cause sportsman racing to die instantly. Me personally, I just want to go racing. Whether that means running Stock, Super Stock, Pro ET, No-Box, I'm going to race as long as I can. For what it's worth, even with a Q-jet, a 3 speed, and running C11, the few times I've 1/8 mile raced the nova, it usually repeats within .01 all day.

That really doesn't matter, if he still shows up here regurgitating the same Bullshyt.

Says mr. desk top dyno, a nobody, a computer programmer, an old man who never raced and that no one here with a clue gives him, nor his malarkey the time of day and no surprise once again, he only replies to this thread to comment about me.

Pathetic fool who won’t be around in 2040!

That said at some point, sooner than later this will end and before that happens, sponsors will continue to part ways with the NHRA, the contingency program will continue to erode, entry fees will continue to rise while payouts will remain the same or be cut. If this survives beyond 2040, it will be very different than what it is today. Doesn?t matter me, I?ll be be bowing out no later then the end of this decade.

Interesting how for the rest of us the end of this decade is 2030.

Stop wasting what little time you have left on this rock! No one with a clue here, cares what you have to say, you’re not a racer and never have been.
