PRO sends a nice letter to NHRA

The Professional Racers Organization sent a letter to NHRA regarding the 4-Wide race two weeks ago. They said they voted 61-3 to NEVER run a 4-Wide race ever again, and if NHRA tries to run one again, the PRO will protest the event and no pro teams will show up. Following this Bruton Smith, the owner of both the ZMax Dragway and the Las Vegas Motor Speedway (of which two weeks ago he said he was rebuilding LVMS to be another 4-wide track) said "I've invested A LOT of time and money into the NHRA, I guess it's time for me to back off". Not sure what he meant by "back off", but if he pulls that money out of NHRA, I don't know who if anybody would step up with that kind of money to fill the void. It would be like the Torco debacle to the tenth power. After all this, Warren Johnson said "the Professional Racers Organization is nothing more than a bunch of sniveling annoying little crybabies trying to do nothing more than destroy the sport of drag racing"
