It's a shame the NHRA has no love for door slammers. They only seem to care about promoting the overpriced pro series and to Hell with the grass roots sportsman/bracket/outlaw racers.
Now don't get me wrong I like to look at Ashley Force as much as the next guy but the sport is dying from the outside in and the NHRA is doing nothing about it. It is nothing less than a betrayal of the legacy of Wally Parks.
Not ESPN which covers the NHRA, the NHRA itself, or Hot Rod TV are doing anything to grow the sport at the grass roots level. As it stands on Rich Christianson and Speed TV are doing anything to grow the sport.
