It seems that Chevrolets dominate pro stock.......qualifying and eliminations. How about making a weight adjustment, subject to change, and give the Mopars 50 pounds and ford's 100 pounds. Change when necessary to keep it equal.

I am sure people will say..""work harder and you will go faster".....that hasn't happened. I would like to see qualifying within a hun.
Molar and Ford will suffer most from having a limited knowledge base. There's just less people to learn or get information from. And that's from the dyno room to the racetrack. Those motors differ in enough aspects such that they want something different and it doesn't quite translate between brands. I'm comparison to gm, there's such a vast knowledge base to gain knowledge from especially if your a newcomer. I blame no one for choosing gm, it's your best opportunity for success. Lots of well funded people have tried to be competitive with Ford or mopar(mostly due to brand funding) but rarely do you get individuals who sustain those efforts when they're not immediately competitive. Obviously people have to make a living but as a mopar fan, it's sad to see mopar numbers continue to dwindle and Allen and Roy are a stone's throw from retirement. Hopefully Alex Prusiensky stays with it for a while. V retired, Kramer and Elite , looks to be switching, so it's disappointing. My opinion of course
