GM has some serious dollars into sport compact. It dwarfed what chrysler was putting out which was over $250,000 to one of their teams
I'm sure the bowtie set arn't pleased

They had to see it coming - the fields kept getting smaller every year and the better teams left for "the big show."

The series was created for import racers, so when Ecotec cars began dominating one of their pro catagories most of the ricers whimpered off to other organizations that do a better job handcuffing the domestic entries.

I remember at Topeka a few years back I figured we would have qualified 3rd in the proRWD drive class with our Nova stocker. Well, there were only 3 cars and one never really got down the track. That whole program just got ahead of itself from the start. Some NHRA marketing exec probably trying to get ahead of the curve only to find out there wasn't one. I wonder what he is doing now?

Probably pulling his trousers past his waistline, straightening his hat back to normal, and learning to use correct English words without talking with his fingers
