I couldn't agree more. ProStock has taken a beating since The DA & SG Mopar/Nitrous scandal. The "Fake News" shop invasion and coverup hurt the Sport and Class and many of it's Real Champions. The Champions that the Fans as well as Racers Respected. I consider myself lucky to have witnessed those Saturday Night hair raising Qualifying sessions from teams like Warren & Kurt Johnson, Bob & Etta Glidden, Reher-Morrison, Jenkins Competition and many more. The hundredths and dedication that separated the Old ProStock will be a "lasting memory" of Carbureted 500", big scooped high revving excitement. The changes made to the Sport are not favourable to many, but in this day and age its everywhere. Not Honouring Racers Accomplishments (NHRA), the dedication that builds a Class and following of fans and racers gets traded off for a poor idea. MB

The irony of all this is F/X started off the same way being supported by the factories as a no-holds barred racing campaign before things got crazy later in the 60s when they became "funny". So by 1969 Pro Stock evolves the same way, from S and SS where some of the original F/X guys turned to because of Detroit backing and were looking for another "outlaw" showcase to help them sell REAL cars. Sadly, PS has morphed into a second funny car class...except slower, powered by gas, and normally aspirated. My question is, if casual fans are paying to see nitro, why would they hang around to watch the slower "gas funny cars"? It's become a joke in my opinion.

Unhappy Re: NHRA to allow any accepted engine/body combination in Pr

NHRA just gave ProStock a brand new rope to hang themselves. Well, there won't be any lawsuits like the ProStock truck class when ProStock fades away. With this rule, ProStock will hang itself and NHRA will just stand back and watch.
