If you call this a step backwards then you have no idea what advancements are being made to fast doorslammer drag racing! YES Pro Mods are on the edge of control and hard to handle but like it or not these are the MEN who are some of the most skilled drivers in all of drag racing and no they dont try and crash some pro mods are like bracket cars and go straight down everytime and others are very erratic but going 5 seconds your always on the edge of control and if you wanna get rid of a class just because you dont understand it should BACK OFF!! Its not a sideshow!!!!!!!!!! These guys are every bit of proffesional as ALKY Funny Cars and Dragsters! Great Class Racers like Tommy Mauney,Gene Fulton among others have raced in Pro Mod and yes they are a handful and may not have long enough wheelbase for your liking but if you wanna go about it that way why dont we all race small block dragsters cause S/S cars are tooooo short and overpowered............ Why dont we get rid of Automobile Racing cause its toooooooo dangerous!!!!!!!!!!!! These Cars are very sensitive and hard to drive but thats what makes it very kool just like Drag Racing was back in the day! I dont recall Drag Racers being alll oooohhhhhh thats nooot saaaafe uhhh DRAG RACING ISNT SAFE!!!!!!!!!!PERIOD I think people are getting more and more paranoid about being safe every day and its really annoying in racing cause anytime you go over 50 MPH your life is in gods hands and as a Driver I pray everytime I go down the track and it shouldnt be anyone elses buisness to tell me what I should and should not race! SORRY FOR THE LONG POST I know a lot of Pro Mod guys and love the class and this is one of the topics that may drive me away from the sport......
