This is exactly what I’ve been talking about. How a driver steps up and improve their reaction times. Maybe Brittany should consult with Mike. LOL 😂
All kidding aside way to go Team Scrappers and Mile Salinas!
 
He certainly has one of the best cars out there and his reaction times this weekend were much much better. I am glad to see Mike win and he was dominate this weekend. Unfortunately the improvement has come with only 2 races left but he showed he is a major contender for the rest of the year. Only Mike and AJ know what next year will bring.
 
Congrats Mike! I think from what he mentioned on a broadcast that he was getting help from other drivers and such plus driving the Pro Mod also is helping on his reaction times.
 
I love how the Fox reporters keep asking him what he's found or doing different to all of sudden pick up his reaction time and he keeps avoiding the question with vague answers. Like if it was some sort of car adjustment they would tell everybody the secret. It's probably just a matter of him focusing more and and realizing he better do something or he is/was for sure losing Alan to another team next year.
 
That car sure got up on the tires mid-track and was charging hard, nice win.

Like Steve said. It's good to see those ol' poor, barely scraping by, independent teams like him, Salinas and Alexis going rounds. Okay, I embellished a little for effect, but you get the point.
 
can't find the article, or comments relating to it, but if memory is correct, wasn't alex laughlin recently told he couldn't run PM and TF at the same race?
please explain if i'm missing something here, or misinterpreted something. salinas ran in both categories this last weekend.......explanation?
or did alex want to run in PS and TF and denied, but PM and TF are different cuz PM is not camping world class?

what happened to get him in a fuel car was there was no other car available for him to run (PS or PM) so he decided to try TF. You can only run one pro class per event (PS, PSM, TF, FC) but you can run any other class along with one pro class. Kenny Koretsky was the last driver I know off to run 2 pro classes in an event (TF and PS) but the rule changed sometime after he did that
 
Mike posted this photo yesterday (Tuesday) on his personal Facebook page:

I swear I remember years ago the NHRA officially declaring pro mod a pro class. Wonder what happened to that?

It got added as an actual NHRA class to nationals as opposed to being a pay-to-play third party series that used nationals to hold their events. I believe it's currently right with the Top Alcohol classes in the NHRA hierarchy, but I have no experience with any of those classes to definitely say what the organization and class participants think about that.
