We compare the NHRA live event crowd and interactive lit displays with what we are seeing at the popular Supermotocross and Supercross series. We talk about what make John Force such as massive star and how NASCAR legend Tony Stewart is helping greatly in filling the void Force left. We take a look at the NHRA Not For Profit, Tax Exempt status and reveal who the most powerful man in the NHRA really is.

We discuss what executives and board members at NHRA make and how the Pro Organization led by Alan Johnson and other top Top Fuel and Funny Car racers should push to have more money allocated to championships and race wins.
