No need for he countdown to the championship in this class, only be 6 cars participating.

They need to make room for all the Harley draggin' baggers, outlaw 8.5, etc, etc.

Go on YouTube, type in George Carlin stupid people.

If they got rid of the fuelers, you would be the only spectator:)

unfortunately, you're probably right

Re: NHRA to reduce Pro Stock fields at some events
 

I agree the coverage on TV is a joke…………the problem arises from the TV production perspective. They are assuming the fans only have an interest in fuel cars.
This “ fan” has ZERO interest in fuel cars and I wish they’d go away , die. Hopefully sooner than later. In fact , Alcohol cars at least have the injected nitro vs blown cars ( dragsters) BUT they fail to include funny cars with the same combinations. I never did get that?

Pro Stock IS boring , all Camaro shows with DRIVERS who never turn a wrench or are clueless about the cars will never have the same appeal as the days of Glidden , Johnson , Iaconio , Reher Morrison Shepherd , Morgan , Rivera etc etc.
It's apparent the future is Pro Mod. And since the name Pro Stock implies a connection with OEM , fuel injection WAS the right thing to do.....if the class can't survive solely on that change alone it wasn't healthy to begin with.

Mike Jones is certainly accurate in stating his observation of the spectator scenario.

These grotesque automotive caricatures are indeed the only draw. At this point, everything else is considered far too mundane.

Hopefully Mike Dunn and IHRA will take advantage of this.

Fuel injection had to be a very, very, very expensive conversion for the teams when we include all the other driveline parts, engine parts, and testing.

I have heard from a pretty reliable source that there will be no more Stock and super stock at IHRA. Looks like it will be bracket only. Not sure about the .90 classes.
