Discussion
Tog and I visited the Curry Garden after a long day at the Saturday Night Special and we discussed how long it would take someone to start a "Who is running Top Fuel" thread, it's nice to see we haven't been disappointed!
In answer to the question, I think it's too early to tell, like Tet says, lets get through Easter first!

Can you really blame people for wanting to be interested in our sport and wondering who is racing this year, or should we just not talk about it? (not a dig at you btw)In answer to the question, I think it's too early to tell, like Tet says, lets get through Easter first!

No, not at all, infact nowhere in my post did I say such a thread was a bad thing, more of an inevitability 
My it's a bit early statement is only because due to licensing and financial considerations I would guess there are a few teams undecided right now, by the time Easter is over a few of those questions should be answered.
Im not trying to start a war here, but personally, I can take or leave TF.
There are so many more classes with much more interesting ways of going fast that dont involve a budget the size a Labour deficit.
How come Ph never has threads on who will win Sumo/Street Elim/Superstreet bike ?
This fixation with the glamour boys grates with me a little.

Well you cn kinda understand it, they are the quickest and loudest cars in the sport so you can see why people like them! I love top fuel but I also love EVERY other class in drag racing too! You have to accept that more people are interested in the fia classes, it's just the way it is, however they couldn't do without the sportsman classes, and likewise the sportsman classes benefit from the pro classes as they bring in the public and money to the tracks so they can in turn give us better facilities and more fans to race in front ofThere are so many more classes with much more interesting ways of going fast that dont involve a budget the size a Labour deficit.

Just enjoy the sport for what it is, drag racing is about diversity, and going as fast as you can for the shear joy of it, nowhere in any other form of motorsport do you get the same passion, dedication and variety of cars....kick back, fuel up the car, pack up the BBQ put the beers in the cooler and get ready for the 2012 season, I for one can't wait!

Primarily because all anyone ever bangs on about here is TF. Its just a bit boring.
A while back,we had Besty and fester giving the lowdown on building and and running a fuel altered - that was interesting....
Frostys thread is one of the best here.
Lee was also giving some insight into sumo
I lile learning from the guys that do it,not gassing about who's got the biggest budget.

I agree all very interesting topics andi would like to see more of such topics but like it or not more people will want to talk/read about the sports Premier class Top Fuel than other classes,look on the PH Motorsport area and its mainly about F1 , look on any football website and its mainly about the premiership.A while back,we had Besty and fester giving the lowdown on building and and running a fuel altered - that was interesting....

Which is probably why there is not threads on Sumo or Street Elim or Super Street Bike but if you start one and lets see how it goes

Well, in *any* sport!!!! On those grounds alone they are a must see.Drag racing is about going the fastest and quickest - so there you go.
Personally, they're in my and just abut everybodys Top 10 (1000ft has dinted their rating however).
Prefer NFAA and Nitro-Floppers above the FIA stuff meself.
Think I may start a Top 10 Class thread just to throw the moggie among the budgies.
