The idea that fans would neither recognize nor care about the difference between today's funny car-like Pro Stock bodies and something that looks like a showroom car is preposterous. It's one of the major gripes with NASCAR for *years*. Setting rules that create performance, parity, and wheelstands is hardly arcane. It's irrelevant if the "average" fan knows how or why the "resultant competition" is close and exciting. Additionally, it's NHRA's job to educate that fan base so that they *are* more knowledgeable about what they are watching, thus enjoying and appreciating it more.
