I watch to see the little slick move that a driver can pull off to get a position or the driver that has his car all out of shape and can get it back.... its the little things in a race that I like... now that Mopar is gone all I have to watch for is the little things and I dont care who wins.... the things I watch for are all on the track... couldnt care less about the drama.. just watching the drivers on the edge and pulling it off

I still think they should go back to a body in white from the factory and a factory based motor to build a race car. Dave Couldn't agree more!! I'd like to see that in prostock as well.

SAD What is sad is that some of you guys that know better(OP)think that there are actually different cars out on the track The engines are all basic cookie cutter air pumps with different valve covers The car is just tubing and sheet metal with a decal on it from whoever puts up the most money.Just wait until Toyota(look I can spell it right)starts putting more money into NHRA Pro-Stock Camry Toyota and racing what could be better Gus 7591954-mysavoy.jpg (24 downloads) 64 Plymouth Savoy 493 Indy EZ's by Nick at Compu-Flow 5-Speed Richmond faceplate Liberty box Dana 60

Save for the loyalty to the remaining legends (King Richard, being at the top of the list and the LOSS of the GREAT Dale Earnhardt), I find it not what it used to be!! As far as Toyota running the NASCAR circuits, not interested. What's next, front-drives running the Grand National series?
