More signs that drag racing concrete' can work in '07 continue to appear

I've been....petting the NHRA Div. 7 site the last few months...wherein the addendum for Top Sportsman is laid out neat as a pin. What's nice about this rulebook synopsis is what it doesn't say. It doesn't demand restrictions on innovation, delays on getting through tech--nor anything to immediately concern afficianados of doorslammer fusion racing: that postmod form of T/S-Pro Street-Pro Mod creature that seems to offer the most for the least, whether bleacher bum or bastard stepchild of racing's lineage. Unlimited doorslammers continuing to maintain the abstract energtic lineage stemming from early FX/XS late '60's approaches in both handicapped brackets and heads up circuits. The Dept. of Weights and Measures reports only 2100 lbs. at the scales is needful in TS trim...making a lower HP combo feasible for sub 8 second activity on some kind of budget. Can't help but smile at this.....
The Bible of unlimited HP; the Dr. Robert Post monument that so many of us have used to grasp reality in the face of corporatist lies and propaganda, cites a kindly, paternal Wally Parks alluding to the examples set out by Samoa/Eureka, CA. and Summerduck, VA. as places the sport can really maintain 'purity of tone' and celebrate the reason we orig. embraced drag racing: that theater of machines thing I repeatedly refer to. I interrupted my '89 honeymoon for a few hours just so I could drive through the burnout box on the sanddunes strip of Somoa (and other words that begin with the letter 'S'). Summerduck (hee!) has unveiled their '07 schedule...and I'm in happyland at the prospect of regular 16 car Top brackets, regional 'outlaw' PM shows...and a Pat Musi-headlined 2 car match race. Plenty of potential south of WA. DC for action that defies the abilities for this colorful venue vis a vis the shutoff available. Holy Cow! Holy Creek coming up quickly! Holy S***!.........
