I see the NHRA widdling away. I took a break from it over the last few years as family and business got in the way of it. Went to 2 decent tracks last summer for the weekend like we did 25+ years like at Brainard. It is now a ghost town. I have to admire the Greek...he is still kicking running a small operation compared to the Force Compound. Don't know if I'm just seeing it now, but back in the 70's, 80's and early 90's, it was about who was who had the best tune and secret combo that made them the best and the little things like the monster John Force burnouts cause it was for the people in the stands. Between that, public relations, TNN having the show on tv, that's what made it and made heros out of drivers and teams. Now its about money and business. I noticed it started to slide downhill after Steve Evans passed.
