Racing has always been about the money, how fast can you afford to go? But, the rules in the Pro classes allow all the exotic pieces, so those with the $$$$ are going to run as much (and then a dash more) of the trick stuff the rules allow. So, if the car counts are down, too bad!!!! NHRA and the builders got exactly what they wanted!!!!
We used to go to Mile High for Divisional Meets---mainly because of the challenge of going fast at altitude. Beautiful facility and a great place to race.....But as Jerry mentioned a good race to skip if you don't have the $$$$$ to be competitive! (Ennis, Tx. is now the Divisional race to make.) BTW, if you think it's expensive to go to a race at TMS, check out what tickets for a Cowboys football game will cost you in Dallas!!!!
Want to see a 32 car Pro Stock, Top Fuel, or Funny Car field again? Then get NHRA to change the rules so more can afford to do it!!---good luck with that! In the meantime, how about spending a couple of Sunday's at your local drag strip and support the bracket racers and class racers that are still doing it because they love it!!!!Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, Live for Today!

Learning must be difficult for those who already know it all!!!!
Ditto on the model kits! My best were lost when the Hobby Shop burned under suspicious circumstances....
How did you get hooked on cars?
