Stock does not exist anymore. Its a made up name for a class that NHRA just happens to run as a filler for the Fuel cars and other so called pro's.

Freeman lost a lot of credibility in my book over the whole Mopar deal. If Pro Stock is in a sad state it's because he helped make it that way. The 'any body' rule is just a cheap ploy to lease engines so that they can continue to exist a bit longer.

As for CP, they're running a poll about making National Events two day affairs. Gee, wonder who would suffer under that plan? It's not hard to see NHRA doing exactly that....Fuel, Pro Mod, Factory Stock, Harley Fuel and a few other exhibition classes. Hope I'm wrong but would not be surprised.

Very interesting article that revealed the NHRA not only slashed the round money but ALSO cut the winner money in Pro Stock .....WOW......and I thought they only treated stock and superstock like red headed step children........it's equal opportunity.....LOL !!!!!!!

NHRA slashed Pro Stock round money and payouts? If that trend continues, the Pro Stocks will soon be running their qualifying sessions at midnight, right after the Junior Dragsters, snowmobiles and jet cars. You'll see them in the staging lanes, with a towel on their windshield, in hopes of being able to at least partially see where they're going, in the dew. On other occasions, they'll get called to the lanes, sit there for an hour, and then be told to go back to their pit. They'll be pitted a mile and a half from the staging lanes, in the dirt. And if the weather isn't perfect, they won't get any qualifying shots at all, so the other 198 categories at the event can get a time trial.

If you were in their position, and the parts you were given could not be made to make enough parts to run as fast as everybody else, you would change camps too. Who is the fast Dodge now, that wind races? Nobody wants to keep being embarrassed because somebody was nice to you.

The Freeman family is all good people. I admire them. Erica is a sweet young lady. Wish I could drive like her.
