Larry Morgan quitting Pro Stock
Interesting article, nothing really surprising but if Morgan and others (McGaha hasn't exactly had a great year with Edwards operation, Jeggie itching to do something else? Just how long is Roy Johnson willing to keep doing this or Ken Black keep footing a big part of the Summit team?) bail and you start having 10 car fields then something has to change. There were 29 Pro Mod cars attempting to qualify at St Louis and they are getting more and more ink. The FSS cars are getting a lot of support...surely the end of PS is near. Dang shame NHRA hasn't kept the rules such that it remained viable.

Re: Larry Morgan quitting Pro Stock
I'd like to see Pro Stock run with Pro Mod. Maybe a naturally aspirated ProMod class with any size engine, same make as body, working doors? Erica Enders head to head with Ricky Smith?
The only competition in Pro Stock anymore is between the big money Camaro teams and that 's not fun to watch. Leaving PS is the best way Larry Morgan can field a competitive Ford. Maybe run something in Super Stock a .90 class or Comp Elim. Dale |

Re: Larry Morgan quitting Pro Stock
If they truly did away with pro stock, the last 2 or 3 multi millionaire teams would own NHRA. Remember pro stock truck? It will have to completely die on its own.

Re: Larry Morgan quitting Pro Stock
Ricky Smith tried to run Pro Stock. Didn't set the world on fire.
McGaha bought Mike's stuff, then proceeded to "fix" everything. Even said, in an interview, they "threw Edward's log books in the trash barrel." He might want to find that trash barrel. LOL

Re: Larry Morgan quitting Pro Stock
Goes back to the old saying, "if it ain't broke, don't try to fix it." Ya, I figured he'd been more of a factor this year. Was hoping he would.

Re: Larry Morgan quitting Pro Stock
That happens alot. That's what the clowns did with my "old" Olds Cutlass, an Ex Larry Kopp car. I won 3 of the last 5 races I ran with that car.... then they "fixed" all the things that were wrong with it.

Re: Larry Morgan quitting Pro Stock
Our combination at the time liked that wrap, on the dyno and at the track. They bought it as a roller and the last time I saw it they couldn't qualify.

Re: Larry Morgan quitting Pro Stock
That's what the NHRA is trying to do. They are doing nothing to try and help the class. Poor TV coverage. They want it to die so they're can't be a law suit.
