FYI; Billy, There will be no such thing as A/FX Dime Rocket (LOL. As you remember in 1970, Pro Stock cars were being home built by lots of dudes. $$$$ is the difference today. Technology is inflationary contrary to it's definition in my opinion.

Thank You! You're making my point for me.
Even IF every Pro Stock team builds one AND IF half of the Factory Showdown teams do and maybe a FSS or FS Racer or two, it's not enough cars and those cars are going to be built at the expense of car counts in other eliminators. How can NHRA expect Racers to build a what, 200k, 500k, 1m dollar program on the chance that they're going to get a high dollar sponsor or win a championship? Good luck with that! It's not the 70s anymore when your local GM dealer would sponsor your homebuilt Pro Stock Camaro.
Getting back on track here, NHRA is building another expensive swimming pool and are very willing to spend the time and effort AND our membership monies to do so while totally ignoring the needs of the Sportsman Racers in the kiddie pool. What does it cost them to add a class or two to Stock?
