They would have a more OEM/stock platform but it would be out of reach very quickly for most once J&J, Elite, Gray, and Line/Anderson get the combos optimized. This is assuming that factory shootouts replace current day pro stock. I personally don't see it happening because NHRA is not going to walk away from guys who are investing millions unless they have a suitable replacement with as much money to turn to instead.

I think a bigger problem with pro stock is they invest millions to be the quickest and the champion but nhra is probably only getting a tiny percentage for sponsorship to maintain the class. in a business situation this class is a loser . don't get me wrong as boring as it has become I still like to watch pro stock race but to the average person watching at home or at the track its boring .
I could see in the future if things do not turn around financially with the class and participation pro stock going away. nhra did it with modified eliminator , fuel altered, pro comp, pro stock truck!!!!! what the heck those cars will all fit somewhere in comp eliminator top sportsman or outlaw races , sound familiar?????
as for a true (untouched car bodies) pro stock type class stemming from factory drag pack cars, I would love to see it but I am sure millions would have to flow nhra's way from the big three before the class is conceived .
