Great job Bobby. Thanks for everything you do to promote Stock & Super Stock.
P.S. - You're right, Don Kennedy is crazy!

Love the breakfast again, this was my 27th PRI SHOW. This was also the third year they featured my 1969 Camaro NMCA/GLSSA Stocker on the big screen This video was taken at the 2021 NMCA race at US 131 MSP. My driver, Mark Howard drove this team car and won the event at US 131 MSP in 2020.
My 10-car sportsman drag racing team, featuring one "stocker" and nine bracket cars also had a victory as one of our drivers, Donnie Hagar won the Drag Illustrated "30 under 30 award. Put on by Wes Buck and his great team at Drag Illustrated. The event was great and Wes showed why he is a success.
Donnie had a great year in the green Vega as he not only won"the MILLION", the track championship in no box at US 131 MSP by 25 rounds, but he also won the WDRA NO BOX world championship.
I haven't taken the bus to the convention center ever in Indy, but did this year. I loved taking it in Florida as they always had a free ice-cold beer for you.
Our bus driver didn't do a prerun of his route and we were his first riders. He couldn't get his Garmin map loaded, so I volunteered from the first row and told him where to turn to get to the remaining four hotels that we had to go to for pickups. We just got to breakfast in time and so far, I haven't missed any of the PRI Breakfasts!
Phil

If NHRA had half the passion that you do in promoting sportsman level drag racing, it would be a nationally known sport. Kudos Bobby for doing what you do. 🤘

The NHRA hasn't been about sportsman racing in a very long time, they are an entertainment company in this millennium and that entertainment is provided by the Pros, we are only the cash cows that keep them afloat.

Agree with all of you. I have been saying this for a while now. Bobby Fazio is the BEST Stock, Super Stock promoter we have had forever. Everywhere he goes it is all about promoting racing and Bobby has no other agenda.

We actually had a pretty good show.


I was able to get some parts (rocker arms for Stock Eliminator) submitted, and tenatively approved. Working on some oil pans as well.
A huge thank you to both Dave Ley and Pat Cvengros.



We have a carburetor supplier who is working on several new legal carburetors for Stock and Super Stock. We hope to get those approved, and into the hands of the guys who actually build, sell, and service carburetors specifically for Stock and Super Stock, as soon as early 2024.



Got to sit behind Larry Hill in an oil pump seminar. We both learned some stuff.



Enjoyed a seminar on honing put on by Total Seal and Rottler.


As far as it goes, there seemed to be a lot fewer racers there. A large number we usually see were either not there, or we missed them this year.



We actually saw some handouts and a magazine promoting Stock and Super Stock, several vendors had them on prominent display. A huge thank you to Bobby and the others involved in getting those done, and to the vendors for displaying them.
