Both of these shows, as it appears to this "keyboard crewchief" (AKA ticket buying, FOX drag show watching, NHRA member), portray one of the larger "going off the rails" problems of modern racing.
Insiders insulating themselves from the people who actually buy stuff from them.
If going to the races and trying to see a car hidden deep in the trailer canyons isn't bad enough, now we have to listen to drag racing insiders telling us how cool and wonderful SEMA and PRI are and then being told by the same people, that the people who start the income stream that pays their salaries can never hope to go to these shows. Really? I must say it feels like being an unwashed villager standing outside the castle while the king and his lackeys party off into the night. Dilly Dilly
Racing is entering an era where you can't afford to alienate any fan-old or young. Attendance dropping(calling certain races sell-outs reminds me of the rain and pant leg allegory), abysmal TV ratings and lack of any meaningful event coverage from the local media tell me every attempt must be made to open the doors to the castle and welcome warmly anyone who shows interest in motorsports.
