He was there asking the hard questions, such as:

Wink Re: Tom Compton at the Finals

I bet he hated mingling with the blue collar rabble we call "racers". You bet he was chugging beers between his tough job of congratulating the winners. I was so hoping Erica would hit him with that trophy! He totally acted as though he wanted to be there.... NOT! Jim

I agree with you Jim 100%!!! He also probably was ok with ESPN's Top Ten list showing having Erica at #10 when what she did on Sunday was much more challenging to do than those in spots 4-9 (and probably all of them given the lack of help she got from other racers...sure fired leaver Jeg Coughlin having a -.023 reaction time against Jason Line, when normally if he'd red-bulb it would only be my thousandts of a second)! Way to go Erica!!!!

My heart feels the loss of Mr. Wally Parks when any of the current NHRA suits speak.

He has 0 interests in Drag Racing. Could care less about it. Take the money and run that's his plan. Once the ship goes down he will just move on. He does not care if there is a future for NHRA. He is only concerned about the future of his bank account.

This is not a personal attack on A100, but more so some food for thought for the unplease-able masses. Maybe he's laying the ground work for a new type of Pro Stock where the cars appear to be stock again like you have all asked for. One moment you complain that a Pro Stock Camaro looks nothing like what you drive on the street, and the next you say the guy is disconnected because he is trying to kill Pro Stock as we know it. What do you want?

And suddenly, you have even more wall banging track oilers. Who wants to see close racing? And pairs of cars making full passes? LOL
