CLASS RACER FORUM - View Single Post - NHRA to allow any accepted engine/body combination in Pro St

Perhaps an attempt at twisted humor but see that Competition Plus started a poll asking their readers which body would they like to see approved for the "new body" in PS. See below:

Choices
DODGE CHALLENGER
CADILLAC CTS
FORD MUSTANG
TOYOTA CELICA
CHEVROLET CORVETTE
DODGE CHARGER
FORD FUSION

Like which manufacturer would make the investment to get any of those approved (excluding the already approved Mustang of course) just to see another GM motor leased from KB, Gray or Elite slid between the frame rails? Geez...but think I'll vote for the Toyota in keeping with NHRA's ongoing mockery of Pro Stock. Slide a PS class into Comp (ala PST) and promote Comp and give them decent $$$ and be done with it. Pro Mod will keep throwing the dirt in on the grave of PS. Having seen the early PS cars of Grumpy, Sox&Martin,Booth, Gapp&Roush, etc. in action this is sad indeed.

Change is inevitable but this will likely be the end of PS.
