New Grade Point System

Which makes me remember something but not all the details.

Remember the PRO race at Tulsa? That was the first time I remember a serious effort to show the NHRA their racers were not happy. And I remember talking to a number of legendary racers when that guy got all the fame about never missing Indy. For most of them, it was that Tulsa race that was a one time break from their string which in many cases was longer than his.

Anyhow, for the old timers or historians here, did the NHRA make any changes in the next year or so?

Dan I believe the Pro purses were increased. That may have been at the same time the Pro's started their organization. BP
