Afternoon Ron....
The average 'rube' in the stands can't tell the difference from a 4.7 and a 5 flat, nor can he tell the difference between a .102 and a .80 light... there ain't pro match racing anymore... or is there? The Pros book in 23 races a year... put on a show for the Promoter (NHRA) and the promoter takes a couple of hundred bucks from the fan for the weekend... some of the stuff I heard standing at the rail at 600 feet was bloody funny... and sad... like not knowing the difference between Ace Manzo's car and Big Jim Dunn's... heck, a A/FD Torco car and JR Todd...
Hardcore fans might tell, but the average 'butt in the seat' was clueless...
And I still feel that if someone can get the bucks and the drivers to run a half dozen cars, more power to them... if the family business is racing, then ya should be allowed to race as many cars as you need... and yeah, the sponsors want 'kids' in the cars, that's the demographics...
And if a team has 'Orders' so the Title goes home with them, so what? Like the world is going to end Monday morning? To your sponsors be true, everything else is just a show to the Unenlightened spectator.
And yeah, I want to see the Title go to JFR, no matter what it takes
