FEEBACK ARTICLE - MERCHANT OF MEMORIES

I personally think the the Funnies of the 70's were simply the best funny cars ever. I remember it very well. HotWheels had just come out with thier versions of the Snake and the Mongoose. I built a Revel model kit of the Snake and learned for the first time what a funny car really was. I was 11 at the time. It was love.

Since those days, I've watched as the funny car class has developed. In recent years they've gone from funny looking to goofy looking. Hummmmmm.

I truly believe that the NHRA would be best served if they were to go back to the old demensions for the funny car class, while running new models. Run all their races in 8th mile distances. Run a 32 car funny car field, a 16 car pro-stock field and a 16 car pro-mod field for the t.v. viewers to see. Points? They wouldn't need no stinkin' points! (Haha.) My point being, they'd have the whole show right there. The points chase would be icing on the cake. - Tom Bennett, Gaston, SC
