It is our sincere hope that everyone who took the time to read this article read these two paragraphs:
In the eyes of many, the current crop of factory-built race cars, which includes COPO Camaros, Cobra Jet Mustangs, and Drag Pak Challengers, is the reincarnation of the original production-based Pro Stocks of the early '70s when more than 40 cars would show up for national events. The advent of NHRA's Factory Stock Showdown has provided an arena for heads-up, all-out sportsman drag racing. "We both believe that the late-model musclecars are the future of doorslammer drag racing, and we'd like to do our part to take the Factory Stock Showdown to the next level," Keener says. "Racer comments on various Internet forums indicates that many feel these cars do not belong in Stock Eliminator, and I don’t blame them. However, there were 30 cars at the U.S. Nationals this year, so I'm optimistic that we'll see the program blossom into its own eliminator someday." Let's hope that for the good of Stock Eliminator Drag Racing that this wish comes true. Thanks and hope to see a lot of old friends next week at Columbus! MK

The rumor at Indy was that the Factory shootout will be the new Pro Stock in a few years.

I can Imagine 40+ cars showing up to qualify with lots of new and old teams represented. They just need to get a handle on the rules early so it doesn't get carried away like the current Pro Stock class. |
