Pro Stock

Curmudgeon · 09-17-2012, 11:39 PM

Is anyone else of the opinion that NHRA is in the process of shuffling Pro Stock into the "semi-pro" ranks . Can not help noticing how they now feature the nitro classes in big bold headlines (and bold red letters) , where-as Pro Stock is lumped at bottom with P/S Motorcycle and ProMod . I just have this gut feeling they would like to use P/S , P/S M and PM as filler and jettison the sportsmen at national events .

That wouldn't be a bit of a surprise.

I think they (NHRA) has had that mindset for several years now. To them only Nitro fueled cars are real race cars! John Force told them it is so. Jim

The larger sponsors that target a broader demographic are being placated here, to them track prep, marketing, etc is all about the Nitro. Besides the Erica story line ESPN could really care less about other classes.
