I think the Next 2018 National Event would be the World Series of Drag Racing

I feel that with the battle between IHRA and Cordova Dragway over the use of the World Series of Drag Racing, even though I've hit out it being a Regional Event in the NHRA rather than a True Outlaw, but, the matrimonial inconvenience is if Topeka proves they can't do tech this year and with Houston not having a true multipurpose facility the whole year, including Rodeo Season like other cities State Tournaments, that worries me as the Sports Fan and it doesn't sit well that if Houston Raceway Park is near the end of its line.

Frankly, if push came to shove, I'd think the NHRA would drop everything and take the next flight to the QCA to make the World Series of Drag Racing is a National Event between Brainerd and the US Nationals. Frankly, it is not making the NHRA's job easier the IHRA's Falling Off.

Frankly, what I feel is repetitive is having to lighten the work load off Fox Sports. Gravy to what there doing for the Mello Yello telecasts, but, what is not so gravy is I can't always get Lucas Oil or Pro Mod Telecasts and if they had to move a bad show off for NHRA like they'd do with NASCAR, I'd wish that would be proactive.

It is healthier to have a 2nd Look for a 2nd Look. And, I think too, we will have new raceways and not just bag it into 2022 when it is everywhere and not just a D Plus Issue.

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.

Did Anyone try to Show Respect to the World Series of Drag Racing?

I hate to be a sounding board about the IHRA's new ESPN Deal like, hooray, they needed money, but, did anyone try to show respect to the World Series of Drag Racing? I, much like my fellow public, don't like to be numb to bad management, or bad jokes, but, I have to pound out the hooray for another reason....

I feel in the Drag Racing Rule Book, above don't trust anything Wayne County Builds, don't try to schedule or schedule above the US Nationals. I think these hustlers who want quick dollars only don't care about either.

Nobody's wanting to speak about the fact that Cordova nearly went out of business with the Steamwheelers and the Original Contential (Not Chinese) Basketball Association. But, where will the money come from for the rebirth of the World Series of Drag Racing? I wonder will be an NHRA Regional or heaven forbid, a true outlaw?

I wished that Drag Racing would have tried to scrub the clique energy on business decisions. It is a pack, not a clique, and professionals are horrible needed, too, not just jokers trying to drag race their rivals in Staff Drag Racing.

I'd believe a sweep of Jim Yates, Doug Kalitta, Ron Capps and Steve Johnson winning the US Nationals before any of the other fakes. And, if the Stock Guys restored E-Town for once and for all like their Nitro Rivals restored Southern California back to its glory and not its tabloids. But, sadly, we can't pick our own stories.

The 25th Nationals Undertow

I don't really want to call a bribecentive (Combination Word Bribe and Incentive) to the table for no reason at all. But, the undertow of the IHRA's Issues that are relevant with Supercross, too, could tow the 25th Nationals or better yet, the Mello Yello Invitational.

What is tougher than nails is it's hard to get Interstate Commerce online beyond a stereotypical whiz-bang approval rating and I'd think what about a Ron Capps vs. Rickie Smith Grudge Round as much as a Cruz Pedregon vs. John Force Classic?

Or, if we had the rare year Larry Morgan didn't just Win the World Title, he won the $300,000 budget back in merchandising sales. Thinking if we where on the loving every minute of it 1970s vs. the 1980s ALL AND ethos, which those older would beg to differ with both, and not respectfully, if we had Ron Capps, Jim Yates and Doug Kalitta all be 1st Time National Champions at the US Nationals.

And, we had Kurt Johnson, the first time World Champion and Cory McClenathan the first time World Champion both from partial track seasons? Even though all ships rise like Alabama, but, you still got to know if their a Cy-Fair Product or a Oelwein Product and a responsible product vs. a prospect or O for 200 Plus.

NASCAR vs. IndyCar at The Superdome and Gaylord OU Stadium: How One Fan Is Wanting More Racing

I feel like unloading the sequel to my Soldier Field racing rebirth in the run-up to Brickyard 400 Week, why not have NASCAR vs. IndyCar at the Superdome and Gaylord OU Stadium as preliminaries to the Brickyard 400 as it makes its August Reunion as the Lower NASCAR Series reunite with IRP.

This is a natural outgrowth to my restarting racing at Soldier Field. What I am saying here is I am wanting to see how far winning in Norman, a place reserved for Fall Football Glories and New Orleans, the City as it would carry weight in a big way.

I feel like blowing off steam here as I want to prompt an outgrowth of the Gateway Classic in actual big cities and going all the way in to expand the racing slate because it truly needs it.

I feel like going all the way in as in seeing if anyone actually where to take off on Racing Racing more reasonably as I view all options are on the table. Not everyone would receive it well, but, it would be a great rediscovery of the car culture and the racing culture in a big way with IHRA's Problems and expecting an unstable fan base to make them money in Street Drag Racing throws Supercross and Monster Trucks out of whack and I feel as a fan, why not try to throw more options on the table to go All The Way In.
