Ford and Pro Stock
From Pomona, Ford will no longer support Pro Stock! Just not important!
Stay tuned. |

Re: Ford and Pro Stock
Sure leaves Morgan and others hung out to dry...I thought Morgan did a pretty good job on the motor program. Sorry to hear this for the blue oval faithful. Think about Mark Wolfe who just stepped up to the plate and now his investment is hurt badly.

Re: Ford and Pro Stock
The tide is changing. If Ford is getting out of PS, Funny Car will be next. They obviously see no value in it anymore. Realistically, the Stock/SS Cobra Jets put more back onto their bottom line, at least they get to rob you 100 large to buy one.

Re: Ford and Pro Stock
It looks like this is the first step, if true, towards making it an all G.M. series. At Pomona there were 13 G.M. cars (1 Cobalt and 12 GXPs), 4 Ford (all Mustangs) and 3 Mopar (all Avengers). If Ford withdraws, how long before Mopar is not there also. What a shame for all the work Larry Morgan has put into the program and now with Mark Wolfe stepping in the hunt, BUMMER.The best part of Pro Stock for me is the diversity of cars. Take that away and how boring it will become. Each event will be only to see which G.M. car wins and move on to the next event. I still love looking at old videos of Bob Glidden kicking MAJOR BUTT with a Ford. Bring back the old days of Pro Stock. G.M. vs. Mopar vs. Ford and an occasional AMC. Just my 2 cents, which these days ain't worth nothin'.

Ford and NHRA Pro Stock, for the next 1000 years, can be defined by only one image:
