My personal NHRA favorite is Pro Stock because it evolved from the Modified Production ranks and several current drivers competed in Modified Eliminator years back.
NHRA claims that Pro Stock evolved from the Super Stock ranks which is partially true because Modified Eliminator was folded into the Super Stock & Comp Eliminator categories after 1981. [See: The Day the Sportsmen Fought Back ]
What’s your favorite category? (You can also include both Pro & Sportman)

About Roger
Driver of our '57 Chev from 1972-2019, Vietnam veteran (A Troop, 3/17th Air Cavalry Scout helicopter Line Chief and later Cobra Periodic Inspection team leader), retired ASE rated automotive mechanic. Roger became involved in drag racing during his high school days and after his stint in the Army ran E & F/MP [Modified Production] here in Division 6 before switching to bracket racing when the '57 became obsolete for class racing. He often raced at Puyallup, Kent-Pacific Raceways, Bremerton, Portland & the original Mission, B.C. track.
I would have to say Pro Stock also is the best professional class for me. I really like Super Stock also due to all of the sky high wheel stands as everybody loves those!!
I would have to say Pro Stock in the Pro Ranks
In the Sportsman ranks i like Super Stock
