Default Re: Factory Cars to Pro Stock in 2018 - Speculative Web Arti

Honestly do not think that NHRA is ready for a legal battle with the few millionaires who are now dominating the class. Pro-Stock started to morph after Bill Jenkins introduce the first tube chassis race car. During the mid 80's to the early 90' all pro-stock cars still look like a car that we could buy at any local Dealership across North America but unfortunately someone decided to bubble up for Aerodynamics purposes to the point that they hardly even look like a car sold my any of manufacturers products in the showroom. All NHRA has to do if they're truly interested in keeping Pro-stock is to mandate that all Pro-stock cars have the same sheet metal and dimensions of cars from said Manufacturer. This would solve all problems, builders would continue to build safe and durable cars with 500 cubic inches engines, the public would be happy seeing their favorite driver compete, you would have to stop the hemorrhaging of money by outlawing crazy differentials, axles, brakes,shocks,transmission using titanium gears, and valves then you could have guys like Charlie show that hard work and ingenuity can overcome unlimited pocketbooks. I think that NHRA has their mind made up by moving to a Circus(Fields Corporation) type of entertainment. This also means that Stock/Super Stock and Competition Eliminator to be combined or totally to be eliminated making room for 9.0. 10.0.11.0 12.0 13.0 classes. NHRA has to change because the young bloods are staying away. Seriously a 9" tire isn't capable to safely hook a1000hp car now, just imagine 1500hp race car. Remember the law suit that incur after the Reher Morrison Camaro took the life Lee Sheperd, just imagine the the possible catastrophe from more of these type of events. CR.p.s prop planes are fun.lol
