What’s a guy got to do?

You had to be thrilled to see that the Greek qualified at Pomona with a 3.89 at 308 mph. Here's an 81-year-old guy running a 300 mph race car. Where's the national media on this?

Unsafe at any speed?

The NHRA are a team of idiots. They preach safety, and give safety and rocketing insurance costs as reasons for shortening the racetrack for the nitro cars. So now they make the most dangerous class on the planet (Pro Mod) a professional class? These cars are crashing at a rate that I, and no one else, has ever seen before. Have the insurance companies, that the NHRA and team owners have proclaimed to be handcuffing them, watched the rate and speeds at which these cars crash?

Trust me, I believe it is an exciting class, but it just seems interesting to me that the NHRA in the face of all that has happened will now sanction a professional class of the most dangerous cars in the world. Could it be that insurance costs have nothing to do with 1000', and that it is all just smoke and mirrors?

And whatever happened to the "safer" guardrail that was suppose to be developed? I think now that would be in order considering they are going to be bouncing a lot of Pro Mods off of them.

At least they’re not trucks

Finally the NHRA management sees the light. Pro Mods are professional a class. I wonder what the turning point was. ADRL success? Fans’ complaints? The economy? Well, whatever it was, congratulations to the NHRA.

Could this cause a rift in the Pro Stock class? I think that class has to go to fuel injection to allow their performance to step up a notch.

Hight might have done it without help

Robert Hight's championship this year is tainted by John Force's obvious lay down to get Hight into the countdown. I expected more from John Force Racing than resorting to wrestling tactics seen on TV.

C'mon John, Robert had the talent and the car to win it on his own, was your action really needed?
