How about those pro mods
Cannon sets the et record at a 6.019, Commisso sets the speed record at 239.44 and the bump is at a 6.165 with Ed Hoover, which makes it the quickest field in history. Awesome stuff.

Did you take a look at the top sportsman cars?
7.008 has you out of the 48 car field. What an awesome weekend. Get the IHRA out west and let us have some of this fun.

Given how good the Pro Mod field was at Budds Creek, it's a shame they screwed it up with the final that Stott and D'Aprile ran.

Here's how I see it: Fans paid money to see a race. What they saw was two cars idle down the track for 40 seconds for a pre-arranged outcome. If Stott had beaten Tommy, yes, some people might have said he laid down for Stott. Instead, they overtly showed that the race was fixed. By fixing the race as they did, they cheated the fans and they cheated the other drivers in the points race. How was fixing that race fair to Danny Rowe? How was Stott even fair to himself knowing that he had to fix the race to gain the points he did? If you don't race to win every time, don't bother. If I were running things at IHRA, I'd have told both of them to not bother attending Rockingham. By allowing it to happen, IHRA has shown itself to be a sanctioning body that allows racers to fix races. Jim

Given that Kerunsky is from my home province I'm pulling for him big time. To read of this stunt happening on dragracecentral burns me big time. I guess Stott has a point in saying why pretend but in doing so he basically just confirms that stunts like this are more common than we'd like to believe.
I'm a big fan of IHRA and the Pro Mods but this is a black eye for both, especially after the stellar performance shown by that class this weekend. Ashley didn't lie down for Capps last weekend and Rowe shouldn't have for Stott either. A big asterick for Stott if he wins the championship this year.

On another note: I think NHRA calls some of their team cars R&D or blockers. I can assure you that Quain and Tommy race each other heads up in every instance - except this one. If Quain ran a 6.05 and Tommy ran a 6.09 in the finals - would you be happier - I think not.
