What's wrong with Stock?

[John Leichtamer Jr]

To bad Farmer & Marty are gone, it would be a whole different story.

I didn't realize that the number 1 qualifier was one of those under rated factory hot rods. Lol.

Greg is right, BUT You have to be patient.... Word I have from the "ivory Tower of Glendora" is you are looking at the "NEW PRO STOCK" In the next 2 years Pro stock in its current formt will be replaced by the "Super Cars" NHRA needs to shake it up. Current Pro stock is TOO expensive , has no real fan base, AND Spectators dont identify with the cars. SOOO If you havent noticed, ALOT of pro stock teams already have COPOS,CJ's and Drag Packs and are testing them. Warren Johnson in recent interview was asked why he was not attending events replied "We are working on a new LS based engine program for what is in the future and securing sponsorship for that program"
Simple, NHRA Is doing a long term replacement strategy so they do not get another pro stock truck debacle.
I will continue to run my car and wait and see...
Imagine, Dan Fletcher a PRO STOCK driver! I Cant wait!

It's definitely alittle disappointing watching some very good cars not get in this show, I have a fairly fast car and was #104 time will only tell how far NHRA plays the game.

Says the guy who probably didn't have his competitive combo with years of blood,sweat and tears wiped out with the stroke of a check for a crate engine car!

My hat is off to the racers who took their traditional S/SS cars to Indy to do battle!

Comprehension problem? nhra and the oem's are committing fraud and you appear to be one of the beneficiaries. And no the conversation about this fraud will never stop until something is done to correct it. There are legal folks looking at this problem and it will probably not result in a law suit but it will impact other legal issues that nhra is now experiencing.

At Indy, I was faced with the same dilemma as Scott except my situation was a little more complicated. I thought about not running against a "new" car that had me covered by two tenths but then the first alternate was another A/SA car and I could not be certain that he wouldn't get the new car. It would have been better if the new car had to use shoe polish. I decided to give him a try in an effort to push him one second under the index. That's all I did. This car, a Challenger, started life in nhra at 305 horsepower and is currently rated at 421. And it is still underrated. After 50 years in business, nhra did not miss this gross horsepower miscalculation.

So, for those of you who are enjoying this corrupt process, I hope you really enjoy racing your ringer car$.
