Since when should the NHRA decide what is good for drag racers by looking at WHATS HAPPENED TO NASCAR? Wally Wally Wally..... The grass isnt always greener!! Its not too hard to see that those at the top just want a bigger payoff so all they do is find a carrot and dangle it in front of the Venues, Teams and car owners. The coverage on TV these last few years has been horendous. They find the most ridiculous and totally Phoney person they can and give him the microphone!!!! The only one I enjoyed listening to was Don Gartlits and Im sure that if you ask him off camera he'd tell you how upset he is with the way his sport has turned out. This was a TV deal from start to finish. I see every auto sport moving further and further away from the people who matter, THATS US!!! You and me. And when the average guy cant get on the starting grid cause he didnt have the 10 million to make it happen or a dad that cant afford to take his family to the races cause it'l cost him most of his paycheck THEN WE ALL LOSE!!!! Just like the NRA not being able to stop the traitors in DC and our state capitols from taking our guns in INCREMENTAL STEPS, The NHRA hasnt stopped the land grabbers from closing down our drag strips. Just last night there was a big story here in LA about how they are going to close down the LA County Drag strip. And just like the NRA the NHRA isnt doing anything about it, they arent rallying the troops , they arent laying out strategy for retaking what was ours all along. Hell no, all theyre doing is stopping along the way of their retreat just long enough to make a few speeches and pass out a few brochures or sign up a few new members and cash some more checks. DO NOT PUT YOU FAITH IN ORGANIZATIONS UNLESS THEY PROOVE THEIR LOYALTY TO THE TRUTH AND TO THE AVERAGE AMERICAN ON A DAILY BASIS. The bible said it best. "Bind your nobles with fetters of iron". Tanslation . Hold your leaders to the LAW and to the TRUTH by HANDCUFFING THEM TO IT. Someone please tell Wally Parks and all those over the years that have made a ton of money out of drag racing that ITS NOT ABOUT HOW MUCH MONEY YOU CAN MAKE IN A SEASON !!! Its all way too commercial. In my early years it was fun and affordable and EXCITING. Now its all about the money and who can buy the highest technology. Drivers sitting on their a$$es pushing buttons. Using computers to keep from breaking out!!! What the heck!! Having classes with et limitations isnt racing anyway. And fixing it It aint rocket science either. DYNO the cars then Weigh em. Split the field into classes then race heads up. Thats racing. And last but not least. Bring back the 4spd!!! Anyone can push buttons or shift without a clutch...
Well thats my 2 cents. Maybe 3.
