Nhra cuts 2019 pro stock schedule from 24 to 18 races
NHRA CUTS 2019 PRO STOCK SCHEDULE FROM 24 TO 18 RACES
Sanctioning body, competitors hoping they will find the ‘sweet spot’ NOVEMBER 10, 2018 As expected, the NHRA announced Saturday an 18-race 2019 schedule for the Pro Stock class, saying “competitors believe [that’s] the “sweet spot” for the category. Josh Peterson, NHRA vice-president of racing administration, said, “We think the new schedule will increase participation by relieving the economic burden and time commitment that comes with 24 events, which will ignite more intense competition. All of that should make for compelling action and drive fan interest.” The NHRA Pro Stock class will compete at the first four Mello Yello Drag Racing Series (the Winternationals at Pomona, Calif.; Phoenix, Gainesville, Fla.; Las Vegas), then take a hiatus until the May 17-19 Virginia Nationals near Richmond. The Pro Stock racers will compete through the summer at Chicago; Norwalk, Ohio; Denver; Sonoma, Calif.; Seattle; Brainerd, Minn.; and Indianapolis. They’re included at every Countdown to the Championship event (at Reading, Pa.; St. Louis; Charlotte; Dallas; Las Vegas; and Pomona, Calif.). The full schedule is: Bo Butner NHRA NHRA driver Bo Butner joining Pro Stock exodus.The lure of three other drag-racing classes has intrigued reigning NHRA Pro Stock champion Bo Butner.

Unfortunately they all look the same and go straight down the track. Its great watching NHRA factory stock class run. Wheels up and they are real cars, they just broke into the 7s.

As far as I’m concerned NHRA has two classes. Stock and Super Stock!

If that's the verdict, I'd almost rather watch the Factory Stock cars instead of any Pro Stock.... Butner, Gray and Gaydosh are all leaving....
