Doing an NFL on the NHRA Divisions...

I believe NHRA is about to get that reality check.
I was at the Pamona Finals and there were some real nasty comments from some of the Pro's during interviews over the loud speaker about NHRA's lack of leadership. They were cut early but if you knew what was going on you could read between the lines of what was not allowed over the speakers.
Also, rumor was almost half of the manufactures midway vendors would not be back for next year due to the economy.
GM is totally gone from the vehicle sponsorship, midway, and Warren Johnson's sponsorship.
There are 8 national events yet to have corporate sponsorship for 2009 so reality may be coming home to roost.
If things with the economy does not improve the NHRA show for 2009 may not be nearly the same as the past.
