Default Re: What Pro stock could and maybe should be.

Ed, I think you're wrong on this. I think this along with comp are dying. It takes a real gear head to appreciate the sophistication and technology that go into making these cars run as fast as they do and there are too few of those people who can afford to race these cars and too few that enjoy watching. Even though the racing is very close in Pro Stock it's not exciting. The cars all look alike, they go down the track with very little drama and it's basically a boring race from a spectator's view.

One of the reasons I suggested a spec blower and a 10.5 tire is that you would never know what was going to happen. Oh one other thing, as far as going slower than they do now the new 10.5 record was set somewhere this weekend at 6.002 at 233mph. If something isn't done to infuse this class with some excitement it will be gone in a few years.
