its all nothing more than the bowtie playground anymore.the mopars and ferds will be obsolete and in the smithsonian.the fun police {nhra} is probably contemplating doing what they do best,killing a class with zero regard for anybody thats been involved in it physically,emotionally and most of all financially.its their game and their going to take their wagon and go home.until racers run that so called organization, or in real life disorganization, once again nothing good will ever happen to the racers who play in their back yards.....
SFI 25.5 depends,no leak,even at 213 mph....

I honestly can't believe Mopar stayed in this long.

The only class/s I love watching and following that have no TV coverage are the F.A.S.T and Pure Stock guys. Some homeys play in that playground... And like beating-up on the general...

Rumor mill has mopar sponsoring EE and Vince with Elite power.. with Jeg and Skillman running GM power from Elite...ought to be an interesting off season... I think it would be sad if mopar dumps AJ ...they have been devoted mopar racers for ever....

What's funny is that AJ is number three in points right now and will finish in the top five yet mopar is willing to drop there best guy if these rumors are true.
Elite starting a mopar engine program from scratch is risky for mopar because it's simply not that easy(remember Jeg) but who knows, these are just rumors.

NHRA is dying, I used to live and breath this stuff but could care less anymore. Bet Im not alone. Yep, me too. It seems FIAT wants little to do with "traditional" hot rods and I'm sure in their eyes there is little if any, ROI with NHRA. Will they cease sponsoring the Denver race if this is true?

One day I will have something cool here.

They could do away with Pro Stock in it's present form and go back to the old days. Current production "door slammer" foot brake with only factory type electronics. Bring back the race on Sunday sell on Monday attitude.
IT WOULD BE FUN AND ENTERTAINING!!!! NOT BORING AND HO HUM!!! WHO CARES???
