I agree William. I also don't like the bikes, but I totally respect the effort it takes to put one of those programs together and race them. Even though I usually don't watch, I 100% support NHRA giving them a venue to race.
I love Pro Stock, I was raised on fast door slammers, but as the old saying goes, "People vote with their feet". There is no denying that the stands empty when they pull to the line. For some reason, they just don't connect with the fans. I would love to see more "stock" in Pro Stock, but if the Factory Challenge cars were that much more popular (or the answer), the stands would be full when they run, and they are definitely not full when they run. I don't know what the answer is, I just hope we aren't already past the date in which we need to figure it out and we are watching the class die a slow death. But like Mr. Payne said, there should be something for everybody at a NHRA National Event, and no matter what changes are or aren't made, they aren't going to come close to pleasing everybody. When I go, I usually watch what I want, skip the rest and ALWAYS have a pretty good time.
