Re: NHRA to reduce Pro Stock fields at some events
 

Other than Houston(which is race #4) They deleted 4 races in a row twice.
Topeka, Epping, Englishtown & Bristol.
Denver, Sonoma, Seattle & Brainerd.

I meant to say: There having 8 car fields, (not deleted races)

Doesn't make sense to me either.

But by God let's get Top Fuel Motorcycle on the schedule...Really??

Pro Stock has SUCKED since NHRA went away from factory roof and quarter panels. Why would an OEM want to be involved when the cars competing look nothing like what they are trying to sell in the showrooms? Really makes me sad. I used to love watching Pro Stock. :(

Re: NHRA to reduce Pro Stock fields at some events
 

personally, if they'd do away with the fuel classes, i'd be ok with it.
if they want to make the track greasy, use some diesels...
keep in mind i'm strictly a spectater

If NHRA is largely ignoring their flagship naturally aspirated class, then that also says something about their opinion of sportsman racing.

NHRA is quickly becoming the motorsports version of the WWE.

Re: NHRA to reduce Pro Stock fields at some events
 

All the events they changed the fields to 8 are venues where there were LESS than 16 cars entered this year. I guess someone thought that these Professional's don't travel during the season, or they decided to punish the places (and fans) who couldn't draw a full 16 car field. Either way, it sure does make it more difficult for the teams that were just hanging on!

So I guess this will allow an increase in the sportsman entry quotas?

Re: NHRA to reduce Pro Stock fields at some events
 

NHRA saves themselves $360,000. by eliminating 8 qualifying position at 9 races at $5000. Per position. And that money comes directly out of the racers budget. Other than that.....what have they accomplished??? They are just changing it, so they make more money!!

Re: NHRA to reduce Pro Stock fields at some events
 

Isn't this the whole objective, get rid of Pro Stock and no lawsuit. Now what about the rest of the mess? Any ideas? I have some but it would take too long to rant my comments and don't want to befriend anyone!
