Drag racing has been in decline for a good while now, I think. I've loved it since I was a child. I miss the days of Blue max, The Mongoose and Snake, Jungle Jim, The Hawaiian, Snowman... The cars were like characters in a show--almost like Lightning McQueen from the movie Cars was to my young grandsons. I used to get so excited when I got to see a race! The sport lost something, years ago, when the "characters" in the show went away and the brand names became more important. It's still impressive, what they've been able to do speed and ET wise, but it's just not as much fun to watch. Sad. I'd love to see the excitement of '70's drag racing, again.
