Mark Ingersoll won't be unemployed for long. Richard Freeman has confirmed to us that Elite Motorsports is in the process of hiring the championship tuner. Look for a formal announcement as soon as next week.

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.

I just checked the first two rounds of qualifying at pomona and saw that Matt Hartford has also decided to give mopar the flick he's in the nitro fish "Monaro"GPX.I'd say M.Hartford has been spending a lot and it's not payig off but spend that cash on an old Pontiac and ...Maybe tnix will spur mopar i to action but i doubt it. 
My guess is that after Matt put his car on its roof the Pontiac is the best car he could come up with ??????? 
Used Mopar Prostockers are not that easy to come by and new ones take more than a few weeks to get. I don't KNOW the actuality of his situation but he is/was running a Mopar with out Mopar sponsorship so I stand behind him....so should any Mopar fan 'til we see where this ends up. Hoping he stays with Mopar!
As for Jeggie leaving, any of you ever park a race car due to LIFEs obligations...stop throwing stones.

Matt's Avenger never seem to want to 60 ft well even with J&J horsepower....and now with Elite Power in the Pontiac...still not climbing the ladder.
Didn't know Matt crashed his avenger,and hopefully he was just renting a ride while he's getting another mopar.I've been cheering for him since he came over from the import racing and when he had nickens engines for me he was the true underdog.

J&J rehired Jim Yates but I wonder if it was smart to let Mark Ingersoll go. I can't help but wonder that their collaboration is what brought the championship home to Mopar for two years, not one individual or the other. We will see if at the very least, Jim can get the car to be more consistent. With the expectations to finish higher in the points, Mark really struggled to make the best calls on the car throughout the season and especially down the stretch.

I for one really enjoy Pro Stock, however, I'am not interested in watching an all Chevrolet Show. It appeared to me, that after Denver on the western swing the Dodges were no longer competative, something happened! Did NHRA change the rules for them or what! It has been quite obvious that they want the Chevies to win!
As for Erica, I almost fell off my chair last night when they interviewed her dad when he said, that it took 22 years and 20 MILLION DOLLARS to get to this point! That's what is wrong with pro stock! Jeggie will be greatly missed, he is a class act and a good representative for Mopar! HEMI JOE
Don't forget when he said that she (Erica) started out in JR dragsters many, many years ago. Did you ever see how some of these people attend these races? I heard some of the Jr's engines run into the 10's of thousands of dollars. Its CRAZY.

The Chevies have pulled ahead a bit because the new DRCE4 head is now in use for most of the teams. Dodge could use a new head but with PS on its way out I doubt you see it.

In EE's early years, what I heard Daddy was the problem, he always was smarter than his engine builder, smarter than his chassis guy, don't know why they didn't go fast. 
As far as the money spent on the JR.
People know when "stupid money" comes through the door.

Mark Ingersoll had informed AJ that he was leaving after the season was over. AJ just went ahead and release him one race earier. And the Jim Yates was a one race deal.
Rumor is that Mark will be Crew Chief on an another Elite power Camaro driven by Drew Skillman.

Skillman will be tough. He's a wheel man for sure.
