$18?! If they had that down here (And no, I'm not talking about the IHRA nationals) I would be saying, "Count me in!"
I'm a sucker for Nostalgia anything . I'm apparently not the only one . Price of the Big Show both in the stands and on the track is at epic fail levels . Look at stands in Chi town . Empty seats don't buy Hot Dogs ! Who says that , Dar ?
Nostalgia show. Is that the been there done that Nationals?Larry's right...it's all over! I bet a Nostalgia show at Rt. 66 wouldn't even draw half the crowd they had this weekend!
Honest Joe. You're really something else. Wasn't it you that posted somewhere that you feel that the nostalgia folks cram their love of the sport down your throat, and constantly dog the NHRA Pro Show? (I paraphrase) Yet here you are, as in many, MANY posts of yours, ridiculing and mocking someone who simply stated their enjoyment of something. You came all the way to this post to have it crammed down your throat, did you? Your view is that all you see is people knocking the big show. You can cut that feeling down a notch if you simply back out of conversations to do with things you don't like. Otherwise, have an opinion. An opinion is totally cool. I think everyone here understands, and values people having opposite opinions. But you are forever being so melodramatic with the sarcasm when you see someone say they prefer something over the big show, or that it's declining numbers are troubling. (I saw the bleachers on TV as well. I would classify it as a "smattering" of people")Larry's right...it's all over!

I loved my first memory of the patch. Whatever that old diner's name that's down the road through the orchards from the track, I remember sitting there with my dad, eating breakfast at a tiny table. The place was wall-to-wall people. Big was at a table behind us. Prudhomme was across from us. I'm sure there were many more icons of the sport sitting around, but we were all just eating, laughing, and getting ready for a day of loud cars and horsepower. Good stuff. Hope the old tracks hang around forever.
