    to the best of my knowledge, in the past everytime the ProComp class was split at the Turbo level it lost entrants and was disbanded in two years…Pro Street and Pro Street type bikes(Grudge) is the future. I built a ProFunny and the customer didn’t like it because I pulled the front wheel up close to the engine(Pro-Street Style) He call it a Funny-looking bike…is that not what a FunnyBike should make you think? no one wants a New Design just keep looking back at 20 + years, those chassis today will not hold the power that one of my new engine can make.
    I’m working on Injected Nitro Engine that will fit in a chassis that has Kz engine mounts.

    The first thing I see is the simple fact of evolution of drag racing from being participant oriented to spectator oriented. Drag racing has gone from “let me build a machine that’s fast, hopefully faster than yours” to “I need to figure out how to put on a good ‘show’ for the fans.” Not everyone, myself included, can accept that.
