pro mod cars limited to 405 cubic inches so he can be competitive (maybe)

So is most of the country!
Because we cannot trust some gun owners !

Just wondering, does Pro Mod entry at a NHRA National event require any grade points?

Grade points are only required for the Sportsman racers that pay the bills...Big Chief gets in on his TV points....

This just happened right up the road from me in Arkansas. Packs the place every time they are there. Just like House of Darts said in an earlier post

IHRA also has some "dancing backhoes" at Rockingham one fall race.

Like other posters have said though, right now, these guys draw a crowd.

Broadway Bob used to run monster trucks during NHRA points meets at Union Grove.

I think it is all good....Go big ChÃ*ef...fact of the matter is...if you want to be considered fast....it is not street racing.....go to Indy. You are either really fast or you get your az handed to ya. Hope you are fast, but don't think you will be close. GL

Pro Mod does require grade points and the bad part is they get a grade point for getting their lic. So if he has a lic. which I doubt he could have entered on Wednesday. So we the sportsman racers get bent over again for some freak show NHRA is now promoting. Funny how the rules change to benefit them at the blink of an eye!!!!

The entire class of Pro Mod is a freak show. Way too many cars getting into the wall but it packs the stands. Don`t usually give a rat`s *** but I will be pulling for Shearer. Hope he makes the show.

How does a pro mod racer earn grade points if they are not contested at LODS races?

Comp Eliminator; as an A/PM (nitrous) or AA/PM (supercharged/turbocharged).

No worries, Mick(ey)..
I can't think of a better thread to stink up anyway.
I figured Charlie Bob had something to do with this.
You guys went to different schools together, didn't you?

Hi all,

I just took a look at the entries in Pro Mod for Indy.

I see that 32 have entered and that is a 16 car field.

Unless they have a fan vote to put him in as the 17th Pro Mod in a 16 car field, the "Chief" is going home early.....

The bump stop last year was a 5.940 @ over 250 mph............

I am an old guy and I remember guys going to Indy 4 or 5 times trying to qualify in Stock & Super Stock....

It was an honor just to make the field....

Bob

NHRA Is going with a "No Prep" track for Pro Mod this year. That way Big Chief can show off his skills and qualify No. 1.

The longest lines I saw at SEMA were for some UFC meatheads. At that same time you could have walked right up to Richard Petty, Don Garlits or Linda Vaughn with no waits. I found that odd for a car event.

"As seen on TV" still carries some weight. Force still gets big lineups even though his reality TV show was over years ago.

If you really want to see what real NHRA drag racing is and how it works present day check out Southeast Gassers Association. They run strict 1967 NHRA gasser rules(there are some modern day exception) and they fill the stands and have new cars being built every season. One of the Stott brothers from Pro Mod fame, started this style of racing with 2 cars. You can find events on you tube. I can see this taking off and moving up the east coast and having a Mason/Dixon rivalry.The racers are also real people and real racers.Check it out.

Off the top of my head... must use clutch to shift, stick car only, parts available 'til 1967 are eligible for use, 10.5 or 11" tire, no electronics, older style Holleys, etc. They are very particular with tech. Many cars have problems passing.
