Same here, BORRRING... I haven't been enthused for years. Too many whiners making too much money in cookie cutter cars.
I posted this article to show that no matter how big the business is in our sport ( Motorsports) They are having to make adjustments to stay alive. NHRA will have to do some adjusting as well, I'm sure. Butts in the bleachers is what keeps the gates open. Loosing sponsorship monies in all facets, from the racer who only has a driveway for a shop to the pro's with gagillions in overhead. Hang on !! To make it work we're gonna have to keep helping each other if we can as an example; trading work for parts, etc. Course a lot of that happens anyway.

They took a blue collar, working mans sport and turned it into a white collar, cheese and wine sport or (whine) if you prefer. Try getting out and fighting now, fines, suspensions etc. Completely ruined by the politically correct. Of course, as usual, just my humble opinion. :roll:
