Fletch,
Pending and persistent weather is the story line here. However, let it be known that Stock got sent back 3 times this weekend! Why?! Who knows!
It is still consistent with NHRA...total lack of consideration for their paying customer base! Which is us!
All the best!

They did however make room for "Mountain Motor Pro Stock" by eliminating Pro Stock.

Weird if you ask me - but no body asked ...

I'm with Ron. Knowellgable racers see no comparison, but know nothing fence hangers will likely think it's OK. I tried to watch those, back when I was trying to support IHRA. Like funny cars, both don't make it to the finish line nearly as often. Not nearly as refined as Pro Stock. Good chance NHRA won't have to pay them as much. Which was not enough.

Edit: I just read NHRA isn't paying their purse? They have a sponsor paying? That would explain it.

For whatever reason the Mountain motor version was widely popular here in the Carolinas for some time especially during IHRA's heyday. They had a strong following and did alot of stand alone events in the early 2000's. Some of it was pretty good racing but as sponsorship started drying up so did the equality of good side by side racing.
