Mr. Teuton how do you expect to get free beer in my pit area by talking down my beloved brand? Of course, I need to be at the track more often to make that happen, and probably should switch to MOPAR so that I can huh? !!!!

In all seriousness I know first hand a successful Pro Stock run is 50% clutch tune up and 50% driver. In some instances the driver is burdened with more pressure in preventing unnecessary parts breakage. So track prep is much more crucial to Pro Stock racers than fuel racers. And what about all the safety crap used on fuel cars to automatically abort runs, unlike Pro Stock?
