MPH vs. ET: Breaking Down the Mystery of "Goodnight Bahrain"

If the tuner car record where Miles Per Hour instead of Elapsed Time, it would have been in the Middle East at 409 Miles Per Hour, and that would be reserved for a Top Fueler or Funny Car, instead of Elapsed Time, which it is in the Caribbean, and having 2 Different Sets of Merchandise would have been making brawls in the hauler and costing sponsor money.

But, as much as I want to Drive Detroit, or the NHRA wants to keep Pro Stock Detroit, I feel the discomfort of having to open the Pro Stock/Pro Mod Classes to European and Asian National Marks. Other than having to unmask who'd have the Tuner Record in MPH vs. ET faster than Don "The Snake" Prudhomme being asked to speak publicly before they'd invite a Problem Jock to speak for the kids, which the obvious fact in that wheel well is Don "The Snake" Prudhomme and "Big Daddy" Don Garlits are rarely asked to speak in public where it counts.

I feel that the NHRA would have to open the Devil's Box on International Marques on Pro Stock Car and Pro Stock Modifieds and it is not like we will be owed Don Garlits or Bob Glidden in 15 Years. And, the 2nd Piece of Business is the NHRA involvement in the World Series of Drag Racing. 1st, the Quad City Community was violated in their race being taken from them without warning to Memphis, then, with much community detestament, their race came back and the IHRA being in Violation all the way back for using their race name without permission. Let's see it in civil,mature, adult terms: The NHRA License is more than a Sticker, it is an entree to paydays. I'd feel that the representation of the Sticker and its 5 Year Old Rules is lost on certain members of the Drag Racing Community.

Frankly, I'd want to see more honorations in MPH again like we used to say RBI and ERA and not rushed to the New School like we had no PTA or Magic School Board to save us from us. If we had a 200 Mile Per Hour Pro Stock Motorcycle, a 300 Mile Per Hour Pro Stocker and a 400 Mile Per Hour Top Fuel Eliminator and a 400 Mile Per Hour Nitro Funny Car, that will be the day.
