Re: Larry Morgan quitting Pro Stock
there are alot of good ideas as to what should be done to save Pro Stock; but you all seem to miss the forest for the trees. First, does NHRA want to save Pro Stock? From all indications that you see on tv with the interviews with top fuel and funnycar while Pro Stock is running and the abbreviatied time they are given when they run would say no.The only time they spend anytime on Pro Stock is if it has something to do with Erica Enders or there is some type of controversy; which is usually one in the same. Their current agenda is all about Top Fuel and Funnycar. As for the new generation factory cars the only way that NHRA is going to promote them is if the manufactures tell them to. When you go to races where the fans are educated about Stock and Super Stock they will show up with no problem to watch; but when the fans don't understand what they are looking at they leave the stands. Why do you think NHRA makes no attempt to explain class racing.Sorry to run on but that is one of the reasons I stopped racing. By the way is Victor Cagnazzi building motors for Gray or did he buy him out?

Re: Larry Morgan quitting Pro Stock
Hmmmmmmm nascar what a comparesion there seats are painted in the
grandstand so it looks like there are more people as there fan base still drops. EFI, ethanol, and still no improvement. the chase yeah thats really working out. Does anybody remember what brought nascar to the mass"s ?. A fight between two drivers with there cars parked on ABC (turn 3 daytona) that spirit at that time made racing exciting to watch. as time went on politics politics and greed take over. Saftey is paramount but arent they nice to each other.spec racing is just that same car diffrent decal for lights etc. F-1 look how many people watch that full grandstand"s people hanging from trees. Wild Willie Borsch, Grump, Landy,Beswick, Al Hoffman, those guys and more gave you a reason to watch drag racing from the grandstands Give the people what they want excitment sh t there paying for it. un limited big block carburated p/s, pro/mod. ultra/stock. just my 2 cent |

Re: Larry Morgan quitting Pro Stock
Jerry, thanks for the scoop. Know he likes a challenge and sure enough he's got one now.

Re: Larry Morgan quitting Pro Stock
You know reading all of the comments on Larry & Pro Stock it seems to me that racers in ALL of the eliminator categories whether it be Top Fuel all the way down to Super Street are not racing for many of the same reasons Larry has expressed. This might be kind of a wake up call for NHRA to actually realize why one of the reasons racer participatation has declined and spectator attendence is not at an ALL TIME HIGH too. Just something to think about.
