Some of us were around. It might surprise everyone to see it in print, especially in this slow time of year.

I love this guy...
It's interesting how a Stock/SS forum seems to have all the answers for a Pro Stock problem given the above quote which is 100% accurate. Everything evolves and people are just now starting to think Pro Mod is something special. That class has been around for at least 15 years and finally it's getting noticed???
I've always loved Pro Stock and wish is was like the old days but there is nothing else that can compare. I've watched some Nostalgia Nitro cars where the crowd (okay 1/2 a crowd) went nuts when they ran a pass that wouldn't qualify for a Pro Stock field. Fans are fickle and fewer every year. Jet cars, wheelstanders and all the other circus acts can't keep people in their seats. The writing has been on the wall for this sport for a long time and many are to blame.
