I'm sure that you're probably right. I don't mind mid 4's either it is still an impressive sight to see.

My point though is that as a whole, we're not pushing the envelope as much as we have in the past. It is awful hard to advance though if you don't push that envelope and then take what you learn, apply it and push it again.

For example, by 1969 we had men walking on the moon and jets that flew over Mach 6. Since '72 we haven't been back to the moon and we aren't building jets to fly anywhere near as fast as we used to.

Drag racing is just another unfortunate victim.

Like I said I still really enjoy it and go every chance I get. It's just not as fun knowing that we will most likely never see a run in the 3's.
