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

Jeggie leaving...seems he makes a habit of that....J&J will have to fill his shoes with a new driver....you cant run a single car team in Pro Stock nowdays and expect to compete...for wins&championships,simple as that. data acquisition paramount...seems J&J have lost any competitive advantage they held in 2012 and 2013...Jeggie had to PTT push the tree this year and ended up with more red lights than any time in his career.

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)

Rant Over

Come on now Rick....you know were just there to pay for the event and let the Pros have time to cool off between rounds..

Its not as simple as just finding a driver, you have to find a good driver that also brings money to the table. Its not a FREE ride.

The problem with that is, who's going to leave their job to dedicate themselves to running the circuit?

---

That will not be a problem at all,there are far more people now days who do not have a job and do not want a job,Than People With Jobs. I just wish they were not allowed to Vote!

Someone will step into that ride, J&J will have a two car team. Could it be Morgan?

---

It absolutely WILL NOT be Larry Morgan. Here is a little back story..... A few years back, I had a Pro Stock Hemi, and was buying parts from various PS teams, J&J being one of the main teams. Roy Johnson and I seemed to have a nice bond. Having said that, when Morgan told everyone he was going to Ford, he did not tell everyone that he was taking the same exact MOPAR HEMI with him, and all of the R&D that went in to making that motor competitive.(Putting valve covers, among some other minor changes, turned the Mopar Hemi, into a Ford Hemi) Out of respect for Roy, I will just say that, in no way, shape, or form, will Morgan ever be affiliated with a PS Mopar, while J&J are still around.

Butts in the stands is what counts, because they don't give any of that money back, like they have to with entry fees. Sorry, but not many spectators go to see the sportsman cars and we all KNOW that.
