Pretty cool for Morgan! Hope he brings Tony Christian with him! What happened to Scotty Cannon? He was always good for naming cars and having bada$$ paint???

Doubt you will see Tony driving. His last couple experiences behind the wheel didn't go well. He was last doing some tuning, but said he wasn't interested in driving anymore. Saw Scotty last year at the fall SGMP race. He was also tuning, hasn't driven in years

Glad they are still involved. I think Pro Mod is going to be ultra competitive this year.

Well lots of stuff happening at NHRA. Besides the lack of tech at national events, or maybe I should say spot check tech they are planning on doing 16 Live Sunday Elminations days. Also 4 of those will be on Fox, not FS1. I hear they are alos bringing back the JET CARS at every event...YAY!!!!

I mostly agree, except the bodies have gotten too far from stock to be relatable to most fans, and so cookie cutter that this year a full field of cars will be 14-15 Camaros vs. 1 or 2 Dodges. That's not good for a class no matter what brand you prefer.


If it ain't broke ... you're not pushing it hard enough.

Current Pro Stocks look like bananas with wheels and decals

I forced myself to watch Pro-Stock last year and will start out watching it again as Allen Johnson is still out there fighting the fight. I tape every Pro-mod program as they are usually on at strange hours and easy to miss. Love the class, especially the nitrous ones.

NHRA really needs to do something to get the viewers back. I have lost a lot of interest and only really watch when I have nothing else to do.

If fans have never actually been to a drag race, forget it! It's really hard to televise the sport. It doesn't come close to bringing the thunder. It's like watching a camp fire on TV. You haven't lived until you've stood on the starting line when a pair of Pro Stockers do their thing.

As much as I like drag racing and yes I enjoy NHRA racing as well...........I DON'T watch it on TV. It's boring to me. Haven't watched a televised race in years and don't plan to start

I like to watch the cars at Santa Pod also to help get my fix.[Santapodtv]

I have lost my taste for PS and still pull for AJ,but Pro Mod is my fav.Almost like funny cars with doors. More variety of body styles without every car running a HEMI,although they SHOULD whistling


HEMI-ITIS has no cure.
My condition is fully BLOWN!!

After working in the shop I went for a nice walk and went to Walmart so by time I got home I. Clicked on the DVR as I was about an hour behind. I saw AJ lose first round so for the first time in my life I fast forward to skip over Pro stock. AJ is so far behind again I'm pretty sure I will be doing a lot of this.

Top Fuel Harley was the highlight of what I saw yesterday. It's going to be another loooong year for the Mopar fans I'm afraid.

Me thinks it is time for us racers to call both Fox Spt 1 and NHRA and put in our two cents on what we want to see both in qualifying and racing up twocents
They can't hear us if we don't contact them work
