PRO STOCK SCHEDULING
FEEDBACK ARTICLE - Up Front with Jon Asher
Hey, John....didn't I e-mail that idea to you when you were at Racer Magazine??
:)
I totally agree with your scenario and I think it's long overdue for
happening. I think that moving the PS finals would be a great thing for them to
get max exposure for all of the car makes and the sponsors for each competitor.
I'd agree with another post from Ted that they should go to 32 cars.....Such a
tight field and I think this would make for some killer racing!!
I'll
take your thoughts a couple of steps further, if I may.....A) More promotion of
the alcohol gang. If these ladies and gentlemen are the future of the Nitro
classes, how about a little early promotion for them and potentially, their
sponsors if they come with them?? I think they put just as much time and money
as the Nitro crowd....a little more pub will do wonders to keep some of these
folks in the sport and replentish the Nitro ranks when older drivers
retire.....B) Dump the bikes. Sorry, but I hit the drags to watch serious
horsepower coming from 4 wheeled vehicles, not 2. I'm not into the whiny
Suzooks or lumpy soundin' Harleys and I think most of the crowds that go agree
with me. Those guys and gals have their own sanctioning body besides NHRA,
anyways. Time to grow it more and make it on their own. Lets make more time
for the cars and move the bikes onto their own platform. Besides, not all of
the tracks feature them, too!! C) Feature some of the old nitro cars back for
another round. I'd much rather watch old FC's and NFD-ster's than a bunch of
dipsticks shootin' t-shirts into the crowd....Celebrate our heritage and show
the youngsters where the sport came from. Plus, more NITRO!!!
Great
points and I'm with you.....NHRA, pull your head out of the sand, make a bold
move with different ideas and quit following NASCARs footsteps!! We're
different, we're loud and we like NITRO!! Show it off!!! - Scott Heinrichs
