I still follow it but my interests are in the sportsman racing and NOT the pros. Still have a few friends that still race after all these years.

It gets in your blood.

Don't here of many who follow drag racing anymore. I still remember when the dealers would bring a new demo, ( I remember seeing a 1969 GTO Judge) with dealer tags running at the track. My friend had an immaculate 1969 Hurst Olds (Gold & White) with 455 CID with the 4 speed line lock. Pretty neat when you locked it and you sat still smoking the tires!
