Palmer to run Promod instead of T/F car
Palmer Out at Vegas, In at World Street Nationals at Orlando
Cool, I didn't know he had a pro mod car too. Did find 2nd paragraph interesting. Chalk one car not showing up due to the Chase and the T.V. coverage

Re: Palmer to run Promod instead of T/F car
I guess so Mike, but how many races has Scott been to this year?

Re: Palmer to run Promod instead of T/F car
I think he's been into fast doorslammers for a long time. I know he had an infamous wreck in that Vette at Ozark a few years ago. Jim Weins was in the other lane at the time. I'm sure someone will pop in and fill in the blanks on that one.

Re: Palmer to run Promod instead of T/F car
Pro mods are cheaper than Fuel cars that's for sure!

And for the most part the return vs. cost is better, too.

The AMS Pro-Mods are only exhibition that NHRA allows to run at a limited number of events and thus not part of the TV package. They can be seen on Inside Drag Racing. There've been rumors for some time that the PM's would eventually become a Pro NHRA class and possibly displace a current Pro NHRA class.

Actually the AMS series had no TV coverage this year, with IDR moving away from ESPN. |

But lets just omit ALL the facts, just mention the one you need to bolster your arguement.
Besides.........if they went rounds they'd get airtime.
I'm not gonna' call it a lame excuse..........I don't own a Pro Team.....
But I would call it a weak one IF it were the only reason.......as it is......in Scotts own words and admission........it is not.

Pro Mod's are OK IMO.......I really do not follow them.
I'd rather watch TAFC..........alot faster and just as squirrely.

Re: Palmer to run Promod instead of T/F car
The bikes have factory sponsorships, they have bigger (recognizable) stars riding them, and there are so many motorcycle riders that make up the NHRA demographics. They're not going anywhere.
Scott Palmer has gotten alot of air time for the number of rounds that he's gone in NHRA competition. |

He has a point, you failed to point out the nitro % change as one of his factors and blamed it solely on the Countdown. |
