Yes, it was a good article. I am ambivalent about the new crop of factory stockers. I'm happy to say that I am undefeated against them in my 52 year old station wagon but I'm old enough myself to know that is more luck than anything else. I can't even imagine owning/driving one--they are so technologically advanced and expensive. Maybe it's one reason that crusty old bracket racers like us sometimes have a hope against them--they are so expensive that to have the money to own one you have to work too hard to get enough quality seat time to drive one well. Hell, I'm jealous! I admit it! All that said, I have dreamed of them becoming the next Pro Stock, even if I just get to watch. Knowing the NHRA as I do, I'm not holding my breath...
