Thats what I'm thinking as EFI still "needs air". Probably driving crew chief nuts on this....."tuning"

Yep as easy a P/S....and cheap! Not like nitro cost a 1/2 track run, and if the NHRA started messing the fuelers? Well, they better NOT! 3 hours to go me. Watching in the shop "Crashcar ""Q's" Daytona now. Just glad RACING HAS STARTED AGAIN, as SICK politics!

Its Mike Dunn Gary. On IHRA? I rather see THAT on Fox sports! Pro Mods RULE in my book, as Nitro Harleys as all the rest.

"This is a very exciting time for us here at the IHRA as we welcome another fan-favorite class back to the fold in Pro Mod. It is no secret that Pro Mod is one of drag racing’s most popular classes, and with the roots of this class deeply intertwined with the history of the IHRA, we couldn’t be more excited to be bringing this class back to where it all began,” said Scott Gardner, President of IHRA Motorsports. “With Pro Mod and Pro Stock back together, along with our incredible Nitro Funny Car, Nitro Harley and Jet Dragster classes, I would pit the Nitro Jam Drag Racing Series lineup against any racing series in America as far as shear entertainment value."

On Gassers? GASSERS RULE TOO!

DAMN! "Good for Ron"! I've meet him and a heck of a nice guy and will "gear talk" 'till the bar closes"! He's been up against the TOUGHEST, well funded teams, and "keeps om truckin" I REALLY would like to see him "take the final race "Wally home" He deserves it for effort to never give up.

And bet after "if"?.. "Ive fought my whole life waiting for this and now I'm gonna retire Pro Funny, and get back to what I love...Nostalgia Funnys!

Ever meet him, you will understand. Simple hellofa nice guy!
