Dis is My Ride!!!
NHRA lost me too. Although I raced until the mid 80s, I had no use for NHRA, Wally Parks, etc. Starter Buster Couch was a jerk everytime I saw him. I don't even go the Gatornationals anymore unless I'm with Garlits. It's not just what they did to the Pro Stock Hemis, it is also the high pricing of tickets! The big payouts are to T/F, Funny Car, Pro Stock and P/S Motorcycle and everyone else sucks hind tit. I don't even care to watch the Pro Stocks these days because even the Mopars are running engines you CAN'T buy! The only thing that would bring me to the fence at the starting line now is to watch the Super Stocks. Now there is a show!...especially with the Mopars!
NASCAR is the same way. I never go to a race unless I get free tickets from my AC Delco connections. I won't pay the rediculous price!
