well from my limited knowledge these days as have been out of it for too long.....but from what I can see now, down hill mate.

Looking only at the Pod calender, only a few proper race meets a year, not like a full calender back in my day, I was out every month more or less running for championships.....its now all full of DWYB's, VW's and all that stuff...its all about money now....don't know about europe...

You got this Guy on the startline at the Pod at the Nats checking underneath cars before they run for the slightest little drip and stopping them running if need be, fair enough, but I saw at least 4 cars run in the left lane on saturday after an accident, they were all over the place, and out of shape till they finally got someone out to spray the track, how many cars does it take!...lucky there wasn't anything high HP amongst them.....crazy and amateur hour!, kinda makes that guy on the startline look a Dick!

As far as I know, and correct me on this, "Top Fuel" is more or less finished at the Pod.

Lez the trouble is the sport in Europe at the top level has exploded and the tracks have not kept up.Pro mods running 5s,street legal turbo cars running 7s...The RWYB cars are not policed so any old crap can go down,, leaking stuff all over the place...10s cars with lap belts and no cage. I have spent a fortune on a cage and belts,proper seat fixed solid,firesuit etc,,,,could have spent all the money on a Hemi
