the nhra website says that they are going to run the last three rounds in Gainesville during qualifications

Pro Stock will be finished during qualifying at Gainesville. Probably because NHRA wants to avoid anymore disasters at Phoenix. Like the Pro Stock guys refusing to race.

Well I'm glad to see the Pro Stock guys band together and tell NHRA they are not racing on the Phoenix track. Only problem is, I am sure no one at NHRA will think twice about having us lowly Sportsman racers go down that sh**hole!

alan from what i was told they were leaving before nhra put out the statement, but i think you are right the didn't want to explain where they had gone.

I think the NHRA should be replacing to pro stock cars. That was terrible, that was just like National Trails a few years back!

Okay it's early in the morning. That is two pro stockers!

Don't forget that many spectator love Stock, Super Stock, since I do not race anymore in stock and mostly bracket race, I still go to Nationals to watch Comp, S.S, and Stock I believe that many more racer are spectators at many events and many do not enjoy the clown show. My opinion is that if they didn't have sportsman racing they would have to turn to a Monster Truck fiasco type of event to entertain the Thousand footers(do any of these funny car resemble a car?).

You said it.
"Monster Truck fiasco type of event to entertain the Thousand footers".There are many more of those types at national events than those interested/knowledgeable about Comp/
SS/S racing.Face it,we're not a car culture society like back in the 60's.
The so called X or Y or Z or whatever generation are computer,tech driven.They also seem to have the attention span of an amoeba.

This thread looks like it's starting to wind down regarding Phoenix, so I'd just like to add the fact that I'm so sick of watching countless ranting interviews by John Force on every race day ESPN nat. event TV show that I could just puke.....The Force gang gets more tv time than all other Pro and Sportsman teams combined. It's getting quite sickening and IMO he makes the event coverage more like a Beverly Hillbillies re-run every time he opens his mouth on tv. It's like NHRA is making him the voice of the sport, and it's starting to look more and more like a 3-ring circus whenever the mike is in John Force's hands.....sorry for the rant, but couldn't hold back any longer......signed, "Force-fed long enough".......
