Absolutely the worst part of NHRA racing is 1,000 feet. There is no history to the sport anymore PLUS one heck of a lot goes on past 1,000 feet.
GEEZ, when are people going to start listening to the fans? The cost is also a factor but people will always complain about money first! Therefore..., feet is your answer!

Not sure of cost of event now; 10 years ago it didn’t matter. What I do know.
1.) Boring seems driver does not do much.
- need dry hops, 2 or 3 who cares if they go past start line.
2.) Need more teams 2 cars max per team.
- sponsors could share 2 or 3 teams.
3.) Name the cars.
4.) Body on funny car has to resemble factory.
5.) Divisional races, a guy mentioned divisional points to go to World Finals, cars can run out of division for no points, gotta pick one, spoiler? Be great.
6.) Gosh qualifying for a race would be cool, Saturdays once again would be better than race day, see a lot more cars.
7.) Got to go a quarter mile. Probably gotta take clutch disc out and 1 mag, they gotta have 1 superduper mag by now where it would not be to awful. Control cost for more teams. Smart guys will still be quickest. Good driver will still get there first. Probably a lot of them out there that can drive like a Ray Stutz or Walt Roads that can make up that little bit, be cool.
8.) Get rid of Super Comp. What the hell was going on there when I seen them 10 plus years ago.
9.) Comp eliminator great class, should be a 32-car show.
10.) Bring back Pro Comp. Great class while it lasted, this would be a great 32-car show.
Drag racing used to be pretty good, now the nostalgia dragsters have rear end weird, no slingshot look and funny car bodies are getting stupid. Can’t fix stupid.

* Admission cost.
* 1000’ for fuel cars is a joke.
* Fuel cars are too fast/quick.
* Fuel engines warming up in pits is weak.
* Funny car bodies have no relation to actual model.
