Larry Morgan tells it like it is!

Certainly impressive, but likely still being held back I'm sure. I don't think we have seen the full potential of these "New World Super Stockers" yet. In my opinion NHRA have "missed the boat" by integrating the new cars in with Traditional Super Stock Classes. These types of cars can hold a show on there own somewhere between Pro Stock and Comp (my opinion). Manufactures development and production should have been considered through communication first and responsible provisions should have been made. I know the current Pro Stock bodies all look the same. Their results of performance are all within hundredths of one another, so they seem to be all equal in aerodynamics and it's branding, knowledge, devotion and funding that makes the winner. NHRA have allowed Pro Stock to evolve to where we are at today and it would be hard to change that. I'm positive Larry Morgan had a lot more to say, its voices like his any many others that have left the sport that need to be in the same room as the decision makers. We all read posts of discouragement from virtually every class. Drag Racing is "business" at all levels and things aren't being recognized as such. Just an opinion…MB.
