Ya, figure that one out, doesn’t make sense to me

None of them are Pro................

 

[TSK]

We heard the same conspiracy theories about Toyota in nitro because of sponsor dollars they were bringing in. If Mopar and Ford wanted they could run a competitive pro stocker. The truth is neither brand wants to.

There’s no conspiracy theory, but there is a history of NHRA hitting mainly the Mopars. All you have to do is review the facts of NHRA effectively legislating the Hemi out of competition, and Ford has also seen its share of being kneecapped by NHRA.

Amazing, getting excited over hood scoops...................have we fell that far.??

And here we are at 64 posts!

And to sum up the 63 wonderful posts prior to this one, you can blame who ever you want but the bottom line is, the NHRA was asleep at the wheel and ruined what used to be a great Pro category. And one I know longer want to watch.

Nitro exhibitions (go full-on circus) and ball all the other categories into 3-4 eliminators.

Pro Comp:
- TAD and A/Fuel
- Alky and nitro injected FC
- AA/FA and ProMod

Comp:
Don't change a thing, but add in any class that runs between 5.99 to 7.00, INCLUDING Pro Stock and T/D & T/S

Modified:
- Great place to drop the Factory Stock cars, the AFX cars as well as F.I. door cars, cars with carbs, and anyone that believes they have the muscle to keep up.

Class Eliminator:
- Got Doors? Run the A category
- Long and skinny? Run the B category
- Two wheels? Run the C category
- Put all these together on Sunday for a 32 car field and send em based on the shoe polish on the window...

So eliminating the hood scoop ruined the pro stock category a very close competitive segment I only watch it now because of the personalities involved okay!!!

Yesterday, at Pomona, my very mechanically savvy wife and I stood in front EE's car and I told her NHRA was going to scoops next year and dual throttle body FI to add parity to the class and save the little guys money. She said "changing the bodywork, trashing the snorkle, single throttle body, intake manifold, and EFI programming and book, and buying a new manifold, two throttle bodies, new EFI tune-up is going to save the little guy money, oookkkaaayyyyy?"

I think I can hear, off in the distance, KB's burnout car running the new setup today.

While KB and Elite have the resources for a smooth transition, going to be tough for the few other teams that are left.

caught an interview with Erica by her sister Courtney and perhaps with the recent history of progress and results, weighing on her, she was less than Enthusiastic to say the least
