    - 1/4 drag racing disappearing
    -track racing
    -NA motors!
    -fading of crazy horsepower dyno queens

    I think show cars are alwasys in. They have been in since cars have been around, so that isnt really a prediction

    KKK endorses Obama, therefore no predictions can be made.

    basically the same thing you said but that the biggest thing is probably turbo or bigger wheels again...

    good call on everything, i think it's all just gonna be a vicious cycle. i got tired of nice went to completely stripped with cages, and now i'm back to nice. and went from american-import-american-import-german. maybe i just get tired of everything too quick.

    im talkin on all cars, racing seats in a car u drive alot isnt very fun.. unless u get some really really high end bucket seats, which most dont...

    u got the vip ****, startin up, and not everyone can afford those cars. So the style will carry over....big wheels/luxury style interior etc..

    ive always preffered bigger wheels 16's+ atleast, but i have never bought a new set of wheels...im too cheap.

    Wow. I drive for a living and have never seen this. I still people with 20's and up on big cars and 17's and up on imports. I rarely see anyone with less than 16 on their ride. Later, QD.

    I see a lot more domestics, and drifting/drag aren't going anywhere...or racing seats or cages..if your an enthusiast and you track your car...those are essentials...therefore they aren't going anywhere.
