I rarely watch the Pro's anymore except the finals. When any of the bracket cars, nostalgia cars and ProMods are up I am there against the fence still staring in awe.
They killed the 1/4 mile after Scott Kalitta died and even though there has been vast improvements in safety technology there is no sign that the 1320 is ever gonna make a come back in the Fuel categories.
Pro Stocks are cookie cutters now and if you are not a millionaire or sponsored by one you have no chance. Look at Warren and Kurt Johnson, they have fallen off the face of the sport. Warren was a gruff old bastrard and loved to stir the pot but I think he bit the hand that was feeding him to many times saying some bad thing about the NHRA and how it was run, true or not it cost him.
I really want to attend a Nostalgia race later this year or early next year. The old cars still amaze me and those guys are not there for the money, they are there for the thrill! Isnt that how it all started??
