The one and only champeen!

Sorry Jeff, but you need to go back to hammering. Glad to see Pro Mod get a nod as a national event class, but so did Pro Stock Truck and look what happened to that.

I think it is too little, too damned late, and when you think about it it's actually funny because for the first time in a long while, NHRA does not have any competition for declaring National Champions. Feld will collect their entertainment dollars, but for the hardcore drag fan it’s a miss. ADRL has no choice but to continue their current free ticket deal; if they stop now I am not sure people will pay to see it. They need nitro and now.

I am going to miss the thunder and surreal overload of my senses in the coming years, that is for sure.

About time!

This is a great step for NHRA to make. We just need to see how many teams will jump to it from ADRL. I would hope that NHRA will up the number of meets rather quickly. It could be what will save the NHRA. It might not hurt them to rethink the cost of tickets to see their show either.

Returning to NHRA to see Pro Mods

I agree with the Burkster. Pro Mod was long, long overdue to be come a full competition class. Kudos to NHRA. One of the things that made IHRA great in its heyday was having wide-open classes like Pro Mod, nitro Harley, low 6-second gasoline dragsters, and unlimited cubic inch Pro Stocks.

I have no doubt that Tom Compton had to take some crap from, most notably, Pro Stock racers who don't want any other doorslammer category on the property to outshine them. We've all listened in the past as WJ disparaged the "silly cars" and other classes that weren't 500-inch gasoline carbs.

I was on the fence about renewing my seats for 2010, but I'll do it now, in a large part thanks to Pro Mod coming to the show.

Would new glasses help?

This site is called Drag Racing Online. It should be called Anti-NHRA Online. What happened to the news about the 2010 Pro Mod series with NHRA? I think from now on with IHRA disappearing that if I need to see whets (sic) going on in the world of drag racing (you know, full blown fuel cars etc), I will have to go to nhra.com.

Come on guys, make it worthwhile to log in. You can only swallow so match nostalgia racing.

Gee, Dave, all the preceding letter writers must have read something on DRO about the NHRA Pro Mods or they wouldn’t have written. Could you have missed something?
