Jeff, that's what I'm talking about! Great pic. I know there have been many debates about "big show" vs. nostalgia, racing vs. entertainment, but it seems for most of the sport's history, it has been a great blend of brutal competition and an endless search for performance while being, IMO, the greatest show on earth. We've lost the search for performance in the fuel ranks (and I get it, we don't need 340mph 1/4 mile cars), so I think we need to recapture some of the show, which is why people are going nuts over 30 AA/FCs and 18 T/F FEDs at the March Meet. If you want packed stands, which translates into sponsor dollars, the "show" has to be preserved. I was thinking, a good friend of mine, Rod Phelps, has driven everything under the sun. In the early '80s, I watched him run well over 300 in a rocket dragster (which I believe is still in Big's museum). As cool as that was from a performance stance, I would rather watch nitro cars, with the burnouts, the cackle, fire & thunder, even though they were slower. As cool as the rockets were, a few seconds of "whooshhh" and it was over. It kinda feels like the fuel cars have gone in that direction. Sorry for ramblin'...
