Re: Larry Morgan quitting Pro Stock
Nothing personal against Larry, but he has always done less with the resources he's had than almost anyone else in the class. He also has the knack for blaming everyone but the face in the mirror. The only tike he's been a player in the last 20 years was when Glidden was helping him, and he screwed the pooch then too.
Running a top tier heads up class is incredibly expensive no matter what. The NHRA has done a reasonable job of attempting to rein in expenses, but when there are guys in the class with bigger budgets than you, they are gonna find ways to spend it. Crying because you can't afford it accomplishes nothing. Maybe Larry should have talked to Glidden before jumping on the Ford bandwagon. |

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
Eventually Pro Stock needed a completely different approach , or it would / should die a slow death. The big block / carbs thing is way outdated and should have been replaced by small engines and fuel injection / turbos...... years ago.
1975 was 39 years ago. Pro Mod for its totally outrageous nature is much more appealing and is the way of the future. I used to love Pro Stock..............but the love has waned. |

Raise the Wheelie Bars to 12" minimum. Talk about excitement. I think you will see several guys in the FS stuff.

After watching some of the ProMod rounds from the last race on ESPN, I'd still like to see PS blended with PM. They would be competitive and fun to watch. Was I stoned or did I see an Edsel in ProMod? Dale |
Re: Larry Morgan quitting Pro Stock
You are wrong about Larry's lack of resources over the years. Larry had big Money when he first started Bob Panella's and Don Beverley's $$$$$, the Mopar $$$$ for the 2 car team, the very good leasing program for V Gaines and Johnny Gray and several others! But you are right about blaming others, never my fault sorta like WJ and Bob never my fault! So if he does move on only time will tell. Ricky was never a serious threat in NHRA Pro Stock, maybe Pro Mod is easier.

Re: Larry Morgan quitting Pro Stock
Wait, wait, wait.....your telling me guys with tractor trailer loads of cash can't make it in a heads up class?? That somebody else that has MORE cash is winning?? Who'd a thunk it? And the interest is dying out too because the same cars are winning over and over?
But, but, that's not possible, heads up is the only "real" racing! EVERYBODY loves heads up and nobody likes shoe polish.... I think we need more heads up classes... Ok, I'll turn off the sarcasm button. LOL!!!!! Let's start a few heads up threads, maybe that will convince people? lol |
