The NHRA has ruined drag racing. I cannot remember the last NHRA National event I attended because of those reasons and more. Now I only attend Nostalgia races, the March Meet being my favorite but I have also gone to the California Hot Rod Reunion as well as the National Hot Rod Reunion. Being around "real" racers who do it for love and being able to get up close and personal with racers and cars is great. Diversity? Plenty of that! Corporate BS? None of that. The NHRA is going to ruin Nostalgia racing as well at some point though.

Good thread! this stuff is why I don't bother to watch drags on TV. My favorite stuff is the 9 to 13 second cars anymore.

Isn't it always, the older we get the better things were?

Old school vintage stuff, lol. Got this video from a buddy, this track is like 5 minutes from my house, but no longer exsists, I would guess like many race tracks that have got shut down to Population.

Even tho the pro stock bikes are called Harley, Suzuki etc. there are no actual Harley, Suzuki parts on the bike. Kinda like nascar's Fords, Chevys, etc. all have the same body, just the decals differ. Seems all of the top tier racing has gone IROC.
Enjoy the local 1/8th track, all types, anything goes, interesting cars. |

I was at Beaver Springs that day during Labor Day Weekend 1995 when she was wrecked. I didn't see it as I was at the concession stand but I'll never forget the sound of that carnage.
