40 plus years of racing for me and my favorite class was ALWAYS Pro-Stock. I'm done with it. I subscribed to All Access NHRA and watched 30 Pro Mods flying down the track. Not so much for the dam Mopars in Pro Stock.

It's been over for decades. We can blame Fiat for not participating I suppose, however I wouldn't put my millions into funny cars to try to promote my street cars either.

Pro stock needs to back to stock bodies

ive been done with it for long time,havent watched nhra in years on tv,friends with aj on fb thats it

Its over far us MOPAR guys as is.

It should just be called Pro Camaro.

I'll watch any class with Mopars, but I'll admit this year is painful.

It does hurt...

Steve "Fast" Jackson is going to put pro-mod back on the map for NHRA I bet. For those that don't know him he has been a radial tire racer for years with a few different combos and has raced all over the world. I don't know a ton about him but from what I have seen is is extremely popular in that circuit and would give John Force a run for his money when it comes to Interviews.

Gainseville is his first NHRA Pro-Mod race and he is qualified #1 after Q2 with a 5.78 and they(NHRA) have already been over to his pits and measured bores and checked blower overdrive lol. My Facebook feed has been lit up with updates about his Q1 position. I also stepped over to yellowbullet and found a 5 page thread about him being there and several people were buying the trial NHRA access just to check on him. It might be just the circle of stuff I pay attention to but this guy will do wonders to help the already growing popularity of Pro-Mod.

Stevie Fast is hilarious. His level of trash talking is on par with the best in the grudge game, and him & Phil Schuler know how to get a car down the track. He was already running pro mod in PDRA but has decided to move over to NHRA, hopefully it is enough exposure to get the pro mods onto the regular broadcast as it definitely appears that pro stock interest is waning.

I'd like to see the top level SS cars replace pro stock. At least in the first year or two of pro stock most of the cars were powertrain combinations you could buy at a dealer. Now it's so far removed that it's hard to identify with the cars. At least the SS Camaros, Mustangs and Challengers are care you can run out and purchase, and don't look like jellybeans.

I hear ya for the Mopars. But, that fellow at the bottom John Gaydosh is from my home town and 20 years ago we were racing Friday nights at Capitol running the heck out of our cars. Kinda cool to see that. He was always a big Pontiac guy. I say lets go Pro Mod....... lovem'

Not even a 16 car field ? Pro Stock as MR. WONDERFULL says, is dead to me.

I'm finally off work for Topeka this year. And usually have tickets reserved by now. But I' dragging my feet this year. Not sure if it's worth going anymore.

They totally killed it for me when they went FI... before that, they had some of the closest ets top to bottom that I can remember seeing in a long time.

Steve's video about hossin' the gas on Keith Szabo is epic!

I might even start paying attention to Pro Mod.

Hate to say it, but the EFI and RPM limit Monte claimed would save the class seemed to have been the death knell.

I spoke to Roy at Maple Grove last fall he says the engines are making the same HP as the Bowties but they can't get their car to 60ft... He said it's not a matter of power it's in the clutch, gearing and set-up and with no other $$ or team mates helping with R & D it's gonna be a loooonnnngg season for Allen.

I usually do Topeka, but someone said tickets at the gate went from $48 to $58 this year!

I'm out!

I pretty much gave up being interested in the NHRA pro classes years ago.
The last U.S. Nationals I went to was in 2007 and it's only a 2 hour drive away.

When Pro Mod started it was pretty much the death nail for Pro Stock ... IMO.
As stated many times before, Fiat isn't interested in putting $$$ into racing programs.

I've pretty much gone to and enjoy watching the NMCA,Nostalgia and Heads Up/Radial racing.

Just happened to hit the channel while surfing last nite and "pro stock" was running, basicly the green Camero was running the red Camero the the blue one ran the white on then the yello one ran the pink one, flipped channel watched basket weaving. Semi interested in that but better than the so called racing. I ought to have my head examined for building a s/class Duster now. NHRA is in a sad state of affairs, they went so fas as to invite some no-prep cars a certain lady (can't remember her name) runs and dropped out some SS/-S cars to make room and they get in free (while SS-S pay $350) and she's pushing for a Wally for the winner.

Haven't cared for pro stock since they killed pro stock truck years ago.
