Probably a common consensus in all class' that they are the shyt on class.LOL After being involved in some shape or another with alcohol cars for 30 years I can tell this has never c hanged regardless the organization you are running for.


And for that same 30 years this has been known by the competitors on the outset. Can't complain when you sign up knowing.


If it was up to me the Alcohol classes would be Pro classes.

-a type of Cognitive bias where people with little expertise or ability assume they have superior expertise or ability. This overestimation occurs as a result of the fact that they do not have enough knowledge to know they don't have enough knowledge.

Before you argue with someone ask yourself, "Is this person mentally mature enough to grasp the concept of a different perspective?" If not there is no point to argue.

I saw a wild rumor that Tony was fed up with NASCAR BS and was considering selling his stake in the Stewart/Haas NASCAR team, possibly to Kevin Harvick who will retire from driving at the end of 2023.

He can do whatever he wants - more power to him.

Bruce, I don't disagree that they could be but it comes with pluses and minuses.

No more divisional championships for the guys who can't chase nationally. Increased budgets to run all the nationals.

They would possibly get paid better and get better treatment, though I have a feeling that NHRA would never allow another Pro class though.

If I remember correctly, they cannot create another Pro class without bringing back Pro Stock Truck after the lawsuit brought about by the PST owners. That's why Pro Mod and Factory Stock aren't considered "Pro" classes.

I hope that is true. At first I did not like the Pro Stock Trucks but after they got bugs worked out it was a cool class. And with them requiring small blocks made the big manufacturers really step up on new heads and other stuff so we all benefited. Then NHRA killed it. Bad move I think.
