Guess I don't get out much 'cause I just read where the NHRA has decided to have open 8 car Pro Mod fields at 5 selected events next year. I for one couldn't see why a Pro Mod team would want to race in Comp eliminator, but you can bet your bottom dollar a chance to qualify and run as their own eliminator will draw some cars. From what I've read, the NHRA will not any races against IHRA national events. Am I nuts or did Bill Bader just get an advertising coup?
