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!

While we're talking about the past weekend's crashes/incidents, just think about the new "4 wide Drag Racing" format that is coming up soon at Brutonville, USA.... That could turn things into a real freak show...... When are they going to stop letting the INMATES run the INSANE ASSYLUM??? WJ

All I have to say is Antron's car sure had no problem climbing that wall....imagine a car's in the other lane at Concord and runs into trouble (Tire smoke) and is on and off the throttle putting him behind and bam here comes Antron's front end over the wall...

Prostock question: on tracks that are known to have traction issues. Why does't NHRA have spec spoiler wickerbills that can be added to the end of the tail spoilers on request? These cars are working now with almost no down force to speak of and only get lighter with speed. It seems it would make the cars more stable and a tad slower, but isn't NHRA supposed to be all about safety? I know I don't know much about these cars but it was just a thought.

That just makes too much sense!!!!!!!!

Just a few thoughts,

Could this problem be a byproduct of the nitro cars only running to 1000’?

Real racecars have to run an additional 320', under power, to the finish line.

How much crap is deposited on the track when the nitro cars get the chutes out?

No power to the ground leaves you with no rubber on the ground and a narrower and narrower groove.

In looking at the track on TV, it also appears that the spray job that they put down stops short of the 1320' finish line. But on the other hand the more they spray the more it costs.

I like it, Less Bitching and some suggestions on how to "fix" the problem. Thanks Bimbo.

Duster 408, you must not have seen Greg Andersons car getting a bit loose, and the verbal assualt he had that caused the interviewer to pull the mike away from him (if the sound crew didn't cut off the mike for him)...I was listening on the Audiocast, and it went from him verbally assaulting the track for that lane, to dead silence! Furthermore, Kurt Johnsons car got so loose he veered over into the right lane and barely was able to collect himself from being like those "two pro stockers", you spoke of.

I wish we had that kind of effect on the Glendora people....
