Methinks we're gonna go back to the days (I'm talking 80's here) when the playing field was even, and guys like Bob Glidden could hold their own running Fords. (Even win championships).
Drag racing, and racing in general, was a sport where if you could score a few bucks from a manufacturer or anyone for sponsorship, COOL! Nowadays, it seems they run the show, and that ain't right. The racers, builders, designers, etc should run the show, not GM, Ford, Chrysler, or Toyota.
Good thing for racing, no more factory money in it 'cept for Ford, who should stop IMHO.
That's my .02 on the matter.
