Tom Compton at the Finals

[Carguy49]

To me Tom Compton looked like he didn't belong there. No real enthusiasm for the winners and a blank look on his face. Plus Erica almost hit him with the trophy. What do you all think??????

[Bimbo Jones]

He never fits in IMHO. But I was impressed that she could get that trophy over her head. She only bobbled a little once at first.

[A100]

He was there asking the hard questions, such as:

"Reportedly, some NHRA suits were asking how hard it would be for current NHRA Pro Stock teams to convert their operations to Pro Mod. If true, that is just one more example of how disconnected from the reality of drag racing some of the NHRA management is!"

Might make for a new comedy called, "Clueless in Pomona." LOL

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!!!!

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?

So how is converting pro stockers to pro mods going to make them look more "stock" ��

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

He was just pondering how long the fat cheques would keep coming in. I think they have milked all the cows dry and future of pros. is a show coming to and end.
