Re: Factory Cars to Pro Stock in 2018 - Speculative Web Arti
If NHRA wants to save PS (I don't think they do) they need to treat it as an equal with the nitro classes. TV exposure sucks, payout sucks. The economy is slow to recover, and that drove lots of good teams out of the class. I agree with an earlier post, that if it was competed on a regional level as well, it would attract Comp & SS racers to move up. They would have to limit the number of races the "full timers" could enter, but if you let the lesser funded teams be able to compete and win at tracks, then you gain exposure to the fans & overall class interest. More match races could be booked, etc. My feeling is that NHRA wants to let PS die on the vine and let those awful Pro Mods take over. Possibly the only thing worse than waiting 7 minutes for fuel cars to burnout and stage, is watching aborted run after run in PM. I feel the interest in all of motorsports is waning and once the middle-agers like myself move on, there will be little left.
