In fact Comp would put on a better show but most fans have no concept of indexes and handicap starts. Only drama I see in the class is the Elite/Gray/KB rivalry and of course watching a young spoiled kid grow up under a lot of exposure/pressure.

Stick a fork in it NHRA.

Actually I think Pro stock is better this year than it has been in a long time. I watched the Atlanta race yesterday and the racing was very close. Several runs were won by hole shots. Now that things have leveled out with the fuel injection there is about half the field that can win at any time. It was cool to see Matt Hartford win a few weeks ago for the first time. Say what you want about the Gray kid. He may be spoiled but he head proved he can drive a race car. I am not a big fan of his but he is a threat to win every week. The class is still not healthy but none of the pro classes are. The fuel show was pitiful yesterday. Not many side by side close races. Track prep must have been the deciding factor. It would be nice to see other brands represented and competitive. It's a drivers and chases tuners class now. Seems like most of the cars have the hp under the hood now to be competitive. Lots of winners so far this season.
