No, But the car I own and drive, and also my next car were both
the cars to beat in Pro Comp in the 70`s
I would like to race them both if there will be a new PRO COMP association,
or even a new Injected funny car association.

BRING BACK PRO COMP.

pro comp

come on kids, some of us Dads are still out here.Most if us don't remember much about it anymore. Myself, I started in a Garlits built rear engine BAD with a 392 and a 671, 2 speed.It was a really cool show back then, AA altereds, front and rear engine rails, some twin engine stuff, injected and blown funny cars.Try these names; John Moury,Rat Poison (I loved that name)Dick Balling, Bruce Horner,Ken Winward,Mill Road Boys.Tommy Musselman.Jeff Rapp.Talk about a parity nightmare, try it now with all the advancements...I can't imagine the restrictions needed.But back then....AWESOME!!

 

Pro Comp

some people are still racing that class... my son and I just built a car for that class..

 

car

hope you did not build it for the epping pro comp no pro comp in 09

 

mine too

my pop, Harry Hall ran the "KS Pittman" vega, then a series of Shenandoah BB/FC's in the 70's early 80's. Are we going to start this again?? like , do you remember...

Bruce Pillar, Pat Walsh, Joe Schubert, Carol Henson, Bunny, Bob Chipper

 

Didn't Victor Terenzio run a blown gas car " back in the day"?

 

Scott Weneys weekend warrior blown dragster which if i recall started out as an injected fuel car. Hansen And Horner A/Fuel injected big block chevy dragster. Todaro & Rapps hemi A/Fuel dragster. Frank Manzos season with his transformer blown alcohol Altered sometimes with a funny car body. A whole bunch of blown alcohol smallblocks run by Art Gallant, Jim Real, Ron Zaverella, Galen Roggie with John Campany, Ron still, Injected smallblock B Fuel dragsters of dale hall and the pleasure seekers junior edition of Samolyk and Alexander. Mack and Dorr (sp?) Blown gas dragster. Mike koskys american flyer that i think ran a yenko aluminum bbc block aa/da Or maybe that was Richie Shott with the Yenko. thats all I can remember from division one in pro comp at the moment,.

 

I'm going to gess that none of you read the first post, so DROP HIM A LINE.

 

"gess" or "guess"

 

I wonder if Pro Comp went through all the Parity headaches they have today??

 

Karmic Debris

my Dad worked on Kevin Sieberts 1976 Monza that ran Pro Comp won a race or 2 in 76 i still own the body.

 

I don't remember any parity headaches. Seemed like anyone could step up at any time to win the race, set records, etc, regardless if it was a dragster or funny car. We all had a big learning curve ahead of us, so there was a lot of potential left for either car.

 

I think it should first be determined whether this topic is talk of
PRO COMP 1974-1982, and having a class to do it again with nostalgia cars.
or,
if this is an attempt at todays mixture of blown cars and injected nitro cars
that run in the Lucas Oil Series in todays world.

?????

or if this is someones research and documentation of the past.

I think it would be pretty simpler, go back to the roots blower and set an upper limit of 50% over. I think the dragsters and funny cars would be competitive, if one tended to be a bit quicker than the other, lower the overdrive for that type of car. Of course, this doesn't take the a-fuel cars into account; it has already been shown that it is very difficult to slow them down.
