Pro stock is a parody of itself now and should just be axed. I don't even think they run the full schedule anymore. Glory to funny cars and pro mods.

I don't think the bikes have ever run the full schedule, but yeah I recall reading a few days ago that PS wasn't running every event. Pro Stock used to be so loving cool, what with everyone trying to sneak nitrous in their cars and Ford/GM fans fighting in the stands. :sad:

Also listening to Rinehart and Tony Pedregon makes the Cheever/Goodyear duo sound enthralling.

Long story short, don't expect to see them at Sebring and when they rock up at the next round expect to see a different engine in the back of a car going exactly the same speed as it did when it had a Nissan. Or when it had an AER. Or when it (briefly) had an Audi V8 in the back.

they could show up without an engine and go the same speed tbh

I see both sides, but it does ruin a lot of racing.

Also, pavement is arguably safer for bikes, but can also lead to some horrendous accidents from the lack of speed scrubbing off. Cannot for the life of me remember his name, but a rider died a couple years back from sliding under the tires and colliding with the concrete that would never have happened with grass or gravel.

Lorenzo probably would've walked away from his fall last week if he slid off onto grass or tarmac. Riders falling into gravel always scares me because the tumbling can be real nasty.

hey man some boomers do drive their corvettes to the limit, like the one who showed up to a track day a couple years ago with his brand new c7 that had less than 500 miles on it. it totally justified his purchasing that performance car as he was *checks notes* a full 40 seconds slower than my bone stock non-turbo sw20 and indeed the slowest car on the whole track

I'd watch rallycross on tapes as a kid back when they were running the old group B cars and it looked fun as poo poo. Oh well.

that race was the poo poo when I was a kid.

At least MotoAmerica has done pretty well for itself considering AMA superbike was on death's door 5 years ago.
