Larry Morgan quitting Pro Stock

If they truly did away with pro stock, the last 2 or 3 multi millionaire teams would own NHRA. Remember pro stock truck? It will have to completely die on its own.

Ricky Smith tried to run Pro Stock. Didn't set the world on fire.
McGaha bought Mike's stuff, then proceeded to "fix" everything. Even said, in an interview, they "threw Edward's log books in the trash barrel."
He might want to find that trash barrel. LOL

Goes back to the old saying, "if it ain't broke, don't try to fix it." Ya, I figured he'd been more of a factor this year. Was hoping he would.

That happens alot. That's what the clowns did with my "old" Olds Cutlass, an Ex Larry Kopp car. I won 3 of the last 5 races I ran with that car.... then they "fixed" all the things that were wrong with it.

Our combination at the time liked that wrap, on the dyno and at the track. They bought it as a roller and the last time I saw it they couldn't qualify.

Eventually Pro Stock needed a completely different approach , or it would / should die a slow death. The big block / carbs thing is way outdated and should have been replaced by small engines and fuel injection / turbos...... years ago.
1975 was 39 years ago.
Pro Mod for its totally outrageous nature is much more appealing and is the way of the future.
I used to love Pro Stock..............but the love has waned.

Raise the Wheelie Bars to 12" minimum. Talk about excitement. I think you will see several guys in the FS stuff.

That's what the NHRA is trying to do. They are doing nothing to try and help the class. Poor TV coverage. They want it to die so they're can't be a law suit.
