All I can say is 'remember' Pro Street, with emphasis on remember... same for Pro 5.0... both dead classes because people did not have the cubic dollars to compete.

The hand writing is on the wall, you can choose to read it or ignore it. Either way if something isn't done to bring parity between the combinations, this class will die just like the 2 above. Sadly drag radials on the same path... it's just a matter of time.

I've watched this pattern repeat it's self a few times over the last 11 years, Pro Street, Pro 5.0 and NPS are the 3 I can think of off the top of my head.

Today, nitrous cars ran 4.36 in the 1/8th. Id say there is great parity.

Prostreet in the NMCA seems to be doing well?

At what cost did he run the number? Did he hurt anything and can he continue to do it without hurting parts?

Pro Street use to run every where just like 10.5 does now... what other series has Pro Street or it's equivalent? Other than NMCA, the only place you find it is with specific booked in organizations like NE Pro Mods, PMRA, automatic Pro Mods. Yea I know Pro Mods, not pro street... that's what it evolved to. Nobody won in that deal.

9 cars in Pro Street at Milan and no one could understand where the rest of the cars where. I talked to Budano, Demiere, Lutz and others who wondered where everybody was too. I thought maybe the ADRL, they said they looked at the names from the qualifying sheets and could only account for 1 or 2 possibles.

He went 4.39, then he went 4.36. Id say it was at the cost of fuel.

That's great think he'll share what he found with the other nitrous guys? I suspect not...

 

[Mark Walter]

Oh, so if mobley doesnt share his secrets we need rule changes? Thats stupid. The point is, mobley just proved the nitrous combos can run with the turbo cars.

Do you think lynch just shares what he learns?

Do you think NFL teams give the other team their game plan?

If you go to proline, you pay for their knowledge.

If you go to fulton, you pay for the nitrous knowledge.

The point I'm trying to make is what did it cost him to get to this point? Can and are others willing to do the testing to get to the same place?

Would I expect him to share his discoveries, of course not, that was a rhetorical question.

Nothing is free in this game.. the team with the most money/resources normally wins... and eventually it will go the way Pro Street did. A booked in show for the few who can run the numbers.

Drag radial is not far behind... those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it.
