This is exactly the intelligent reply I was looking for. I wanted to pick the brains of pure dirt under the fingernail car guys. I agree whole heartedly with this. The NHRA is pushing itself into extinction and the fact that real working class car guys see it as well makes me feel a lot better. My own interest has been dissipating over the past few years. I used to never miss a race both on TV and out at Pomona. I have now neglected to go to the past 2 because I just don't feel that my "Entertainment Dollar" is being taken seriously. It's no longer run on 1320' It's 60 bucks at the gate and now on sunday at Pomona they are done before 4 pm because of all of the lousy neighbors that live around the track. So is it worth it for me to spend 120.00 for 1 day for my wife and I to go and watch some hum drum pro cars run or is it a better idea to go to Fontana and watch real cars run for 10 to 20 bucks or got to the street car super nats in vegas for 100 for 2 of us for 2 days and watch real cars and exciting runs. I'd rather spend my money on the real cars than watch these cookie cutters fade away into obscurity.
