The quote I remember most is, “excuse me while I whip this out.”

"What in the wide world of sports is going on around here?"

"Don't know, Mongo only pawn in game of life."

"The Sheriff isa nearin."

Definitely a different and better time...

I think that is why Richard Freeman is dipping his toes into Top Fuel. I think he's interested in seeing if what he learned while saving the Pro Stock field sizes can be applied to the Nitro classes.

r. freeman certainly doesn't appear to be invested in this to watch the grass grow under his feet.

It sounds like a real possibility that Stanfield is racing in TF next year. Seems he is more likely than Enders at this point even though both are expected to get their licenses in the near future.

is the nhra ok with short fields? ....... maybe a few per year? how many is a few? ...... i don't think having to say 'he or she gets a bye in this round' plays particularly
well to a TV or live audience ...... when indy, nascar, and F1 host full fields and you don't? ...... your overall entertainment package lessens; what about
torrence fans expecting to see steve during the last few races? who is next? ....... $50k is $50k, what if nhra regulars attend ihra races next summer instead
of making western swing races? is that ok? ...... i don't think accepting smaller fields is healthy. you have a sports entertainment business model in place,
and now with competition from the ihra ....... IMO nhra should offer any incentives possible to maintain full nitro fields at the nat. events.
will short fields continue? yes, because the racers and the nhra are not in business together. costs are high, and payouts are relatively stagnant. not an easy solution.

Those very racing series you mentioned are pretty much closed to the public too. Especially NASCAR and F1. Indy Car is getting really close. So are those really full fields? Yes, top fuel may be short cars for now, but at least any of us can build one, show up and not get told to go flick.

Stanfield is running Pro Mod next year.

Stanfield is running Pro Mod next year.

Has he announced that? He announced that he is driving A Pro Mod in the Winter Series, but that's all I have seen.
