Seen all this before- bad economy, gas prices gone through the roof, Drag Racing as we know it is dead...- All happened in 72-74...
The sport, like most others, metamorphized and grew from there.. I personally am looking forward to the next incarnation of the NHRA post-HDP. Maybe the next group that comes in will have a historical heart in the sport and a vision of the future that doesnt stray too far from the the sport's past.
(No, not more Nostalgia classes- more the idea that its about the racers coming in and engineering themselves faster instead of buying their way to the winner's circle, and families coming in to fun, affordable entertainment)
