Default Re: Horrible Pro Mod Crash - Your Thoughts

Ah, I see. The easily offended are out in force, and "MEN" drive Pro Mod.

(I suppose if "MEN" drive Pro Mod, everyone else is just a sissy.)

In a nutshell, if a drag racing class can't go more than 3-4 events without having a car rolled up in a ball, there's a problem. It's called drag racing, not drag wrecking.

If you get your feelings hurt when people point out that the number of wrecks for a given number of passes is way out of line, then I guess you'll just have to be all offended by the truth and facts.

I'm betting Pro Mod and classes like it are driving the cost of insurance up for track operators and sanctiuoning bodies, you don't have that many violent wrecks with parts flying everywhere and have the people who write policies ignore it. Which means all of us are paying their insurance premiums. Further, we're also having to sit around and wait while they clean up the mess.

I don't want to see the class eliminated. But by the same token, I don't think everyone else should be paying the increased costs and sitting around during the clean up. They need to clean up their act. If they don't, odds are, it will get cleaned up for them and they won't like it.
