NHRA Pro Mod Dead? (2 Viewers)

[Jim]

I won't miss them. The ADRL 1/8 mile format fits them, a 1/4 mile seems too much for them to handle. If it were Top Fuel or Funny car tire smoke fest, people become upset and P and M, but fawn over P/M unable to send a pair down under power. If I want to see door stop shaped cars with a wing the size of a football field careen all over a track bouncing off of walls, I will go watch an outlaw dirt late model race.
I sure hope they are faster than a Pro Stock car. They are a TAFC with a poor excuse for a door, or they have an engine the size of Montana on the juice. What was the last car from the manufacturer with one door? This is a safety issue, remember Shelly Anderson at Richmond 2007. After playing tag with the walls and stopping against the wall, the Safety Safari could not get into the car to help her, no passenger side door. They picked the front end up and moved the car off the wall.
If you like them fine, I don't and don't think NHRA needs a side show at National Events.

“We still do not have a signed contract with NHRA as of yet, so I can’t make any commitments and I hesitate to really make any comments at all — because I don’t know what the decisions are,” Brammer said Monday morning.

Hmmm...

Doesn't that quote sound nearly identical to what the Icard folks had to say.

It's nice to hear that NHRA really wants to work with their vendor partners...almost as well as professional sports agents do with the management of player's current teams.

Wow. What a view.

Half the information in this post is bogus. For starters, Shelly did have two doors on her racecar. Look here: http://www.competitionplus.com/2005_06/ams_stlouis.html

I think someones got an axe to grind.

Like PS cars resemble anything coming from the factory!

Word on the street yesterday was Jegs stepped up to sponsor the series. So we will see. I hope so.

Me to Justin. Pro mods are really wild cars, with kind of an old school feel to them with the theme cars like alot of teams did before sponsors.

Wow, misinformation abounds.

49 Pro Mods Entered Estn. Who Says This Isn't A Popular Category For Nhra.

Jesse, where are you getting the 49 cars figure? NHRA will never allow that many entries for a NHRA race.

 

[Horsepower & Heels]

Joe, that's the number pre-registered for the Eastern Test Nationals in Valdosta. That's just saying that there are THAT many active pro mods out there competing. We know the invite-only format will never allow that many.

Thats how many cars entered in estn test session on 2/20/08. What I was getting at is if NHRA had a good program they would have no problem filling field.

 

[Joker]

There will be around 100 at any ADRL race

Ok well ESTN is an 1/8 mile race, NHRA only allows a Max of 24 per race. I thought you said NHRA is allowing 49 cars

Most teams going there are mainly looking for there 300ft times and to get ready for Gainesville.

Don't remind me about Gainesville....I'm liable to break out the JD and start pounding!

 

[Bobby Bennett]

ESTN is quarter-mile testing, but drivers can lift at the eighth mile if they want.

 

[Ian]

I wouldn't be surprised to see the ADRL adopt another class entirely for 1/4 mile national event participants. They have moved to acceptable facilities for hosting a 1/4 mile run to compliment their 1/8th mile format. Might be confusing to fans, but it would be an all-inclusive Pro Mod sanction.

Sorry, Erica, but this is HIGHLY unlikely. Very highly unlikely.

I dont see them doing that either, though I would like it. Ian, you ready for Houston? I know I am. Counting the days.

 

[Horsepower & Heels]

It was just a thought... talk about the total Pro Mod experience then!

 

[Joker]

Heard yesterday rumblings about Pro Turbo being added in 09, any truth Ian?
