I can’t get anyone to listen. The Pro Mod cars are great, but someone in the crowd is going to get hurt bad.
These cars are way out of balance. The motor needs to be slid back maybe twenty inches to keep them from unloading the tires at speed.
Somebody needs to act. This is not NASCAR. How many wrecks per week? Speak up please. Can’t someone see this? Speak up.

I have been drag racing since 1969 when I and my partner started racing an AHRA Pro Stock Camaro mostly in the southeast! I remember seeing/meeting/racing Glidden, Nicholson, Sox and the Chrysler mob, and Shafiroff in the early ‘70s at Rockingham and other events.
Latter we ran Chuck Wright's Tiretown Rat Camaro in the AHRA/IHRA and match racing.
After several years I went back to my first love, Harleys! I built a Pro Gas Harley in 1985 and did quite well, I have a good background in design and application of my ideas! 4" bore shovel!
I won the championship in HDRA Pro Gas in 1989, sold the bike and built a Pro Stocker in 1992/1993. Took the new bike to Xenia and WON! Won the AHDRA Pro Stock championship in 1995; was invited and ran exhibition runs in Denmark in September that year!
Took ten years off then lost my mind again (HA!) and built a new Pro Mod Harley in 2006 and finished fourth nationally.
The class changed to Pro Stock in 2007. We upgraded to a 10" tire. I finished 9th after a health problem.
I took last year off due to the economy and will run a few times this year. IT'S BACK TO HAVING FUN!
The photography and commentary in your online magazine is by far "THE BEST COVERAGE I HAVE SEEN"!
I especially appreciate the All HARLEY COVERAGE! We are all dedicated racers striving to excel in our pursuit of SPEED!
WOW! THIS IS GREAT!

The 'motorcycle seat' displayed in the agent 1320 column on 5/7/09 should be removed ASAP. Don't get me wrong, I like to look at that stuff just as much as the next guy... in the proper setting, that is. I regularly read the column, daily in fact, and it was quite a disappointment to see that pop up on the screen of my work computer. I know this is not that type of website, but the fact is something like this could cause me the loss of my job.
So I would appreciate it if that post was removed and restraint was expressed in all future instances, maybe with a link that would alert you of the materials content.
Thanks,

We apologize if anyone was offended by seeing nipples on a piece of plastic. We will never do that again.
The guy with the bike must be a necrophiliac.
