The money is just plain ridiculous for a trophy, I am NOT impressed w brake lights B4 the finish lights or today's drag racing -yes,Its BORING to me.The last time I went, I actually spent all my time on the starting line and rarely even watched the finishes unless something happened down there.


I've been an ardent fan since '59. Maybe you have hit on something. I used to go all of the time to either SIR in Tucson, or Firebird in Phoenix. Tucson used to have PRO testing in January-February, and Liked to see the mega horsepower cars go 320 MPH in person.

Now I find I only go to the Fuel Altered and Front engined dragster events, and only here in Tucson. Maybe I am losing interest.

My wife is always trying to get me to go, since she knows I have loved this sport most of my life. Most times I stay home and work on somebody's paint job. I do follow the NHRA races on TV, but that is because TV made heros or villians out of the people involved.

I never thought I would lose my passion for drag racing....but maybe I already am????
