GEORGE BRYCE TALKS PSM ing Angelle, Jerry Cooper, Ken Johnson, Jackie and myself there, we’ve given Cory kind of an advantage helping him realize mistakes before he makes them so he doesn’t have those obvious trips when you stumble as a rookie. He’s still going to make rookie mistakes as he goes on but I’d like to think we helped him jump over some of them. It’s fun to see both sides of it from both of their perspectives.” “I’ve noticed that a lot of the car guys are watching our class more than they used to,” Bryce smiles. “The thing that’s neat is Cory’s mom and dad are the sponsors of the Pro Mod Series, J&A Services, and I’ve noticed more Pro Mod racers watching our class and paying attention to us and that may be why. We have a lot of fans that we’ve gotten by kind of cross-pollinating due to the association with Cory and his parents being so involved in other classes.” The last piece of the puzzle is put together with the NHRA All Access channel. Coverage typically begins on Friday morning as soon as Stock Eliminator hits the burnout box and doesn’t end until the last car goes down the track every night. SECURE. NHRA All Access can be accessed all over the world and the global impact is already being seen. “The NHRA All Access has been great too,” he adds. “A good example is Jackie just got back from Santa Pod in England and you wouldn’t believe how many of them are following it and how many new subscribers are coming on board overseas every week. We’re getting good coverage combined with the TV deal.” Pro Stock Motorcycle is making all the right moves and being the most accessible professional class for racers to enter in, it doesn’t seem like the class’ popularity is losing steam anytime soon.
