[quote=John Panuzzo;75838][color="Yellow"]Paul you usually make sense, but cutting PS and PSB, will leave us with 2.5 hr of TF and FC now I would think that would get boring..

What I meant was get the show down to 2 hours. Eliminating most of PS and PS Bike will help.

You don't pay an entry fee and your being PAID to put on a show to the paying public. Unfortunately this ain't the 70's and 80's anymore. NHRA is big business and they need to step up. You can't compete racing out of a Dually and a gooseneck trailer anymore.

Then I guess eventually you will really like the eight car fields that consist of two multi-car teams. I respect your opinion, I just don't agree with it.

Maybe you should sell your comp car and barbecue grill. Buy a nitro car and show the underfunded teams how it's done.

No way. I can't afford to run a nitro car and neither do I pretend to. If I am a paying spectator I expect to see a show which includes cars going down the track not some guy who makes one banzai run on friday to get in the show, sits out the rest of qualifying and then goes up there and blows the tires off at the hit to just idle down the track and collect 1st round money.
If I couldn't afford to run a particular class I think I would rethink my priorities and maybe drop down a class. AGAIN.. this is just my personal opinion. You guys knock yourself's out having fun and spending boatloads of money. I can't afford to.
