So the cheater is leaving AGAIN. Bummer. I would have rather kept the kid than jeggie.
Let me see...needs time for the business...wants more time for the family...blah blah blah.
Don't know what the contract looked like with J&J racing, but it may hurt their funding a bit.
I, for one, am glad to see him leave....again.
Just because you think it won't make it true. Horsepower is KING. To dispute this is stupid. C. Alston

I had rather see him in a Mopar than a chevy or ford,because if he can just make it into the show he can Win the race.Also he takes a lot of $$$ as well as knowledge to what ever Team/Brand he goes to.And worst of all I would hate to see the Johnson's performance drop off from lack of $$$,lets face it they are the very best thing that ever happen to Mopar not to mention the nicest people you will find in all of NHRA!

maybe with jeg leaving troy or one of the others will step up,although,it wouldnt surprise me a bit if mopar yanks the funding from j&j.they seem to b on a roll for not paying their bills.pro stock being without a doubt the most expensive and competetive class ever for naturally aspirated engines, it would be tough for anybody to compete,much less win.lets all hope there will be others to fill the mopar shoes respectably.we need the expertise and r&d to keep a program up front of the new design cyl head every 20 minutes gang...
SFI 25.5 depends,no leak,even at 213 mph....

I think Pro Stock as it is now has to be one of the most boring classes since the 8.90 / 9.90 BS WHO CARES?? Those funny cars on gas do not sell cars for Dodge/ Ford/ Chevy IMO Start all over--Keep the name and use new Mustangs, Camaros, Challengers with a set of headers and an 10 inch slick and let the DRIVERS go at it. I would pay to watch a field of a hundred or so go to war on each other--make it a Session--back to back hot lapping--showroom stock except open headers and slicks--autos have to run factory converter and trans with zero mods--4 speeds get a pass on good clutch and bell otherwise showroom stock--Every guy in the USA that has a car could spend $2k on it and be ready to race --get an NHRA membership/ license etc and Violia!! I just saved the NHRA

The Pro Stock class still has to be my favorite. Main reason is the still resemble a friggin car. Funny cars are just arrow dynamic flying bricks. The only way you know what they are is because of the paint job. If they weren't allowed paint, they would all look alike. If you wanted to make that class really cool, then make it a rule with the funny car class, that the car must be made from a real car again. Like they did when the class first started out.

I for one will be glued to the computer and tv this coming weekend to see the last race of the 2014 season. Who will win????? The young lady or the guy with the checkered past. I for one hopes Erica wins the title. I love pro-stock and really wish there was still a pro-stock truck class too as that injected a lot a small block parts into the Mopar market.
1970 Duster
Edelbrock headed 408
5.984@112.52
422 Indy headed small block
5.982@112.56 mph
9.42@138.27
Livin and lovin life one day at a time

The problem with that is, who's going to leave their job to dedicate themselves to running the circuit?
There is a real dilemma. With insurance costs, maintenance, costs, staff, equipment, etc., a track has to be able to draw a large crowd and charge huge fees to stay afloat. The only way to do that is with the high dollar pro categories. Let's face it, run a raceday without any pro categories and you're lucky if you can squeeze $15. out of a spectator and if they get 5 spectators for every racecar they'd be doing good! That just doesn't pay the bills.
Honestly, I think a lot of tracks only exist because they're money laundering.

Yeah....lets get rid of those boring ass superclass index racers....hell they only account for 200-300 cars at each divisional and national race....shouldn't create any impact at all....DUH
While we're at it lets kill bracket racing too....one car leaving before another....that's not racing (temper flaring...lol)
