My take is it's a great class in and of itself, but I don't see where it fits in, in the grand scheme of things.
They jumped right up and changed the rules to let the factory ringers in..anywhere they could .
They dominate qualifying in Stock, for the most part.
They are all over S/S too.
They brought them into Comp to pump that up.
The showdown cars were supposed to be the answer for fans who only want to watch heads up, flat out racing.
Now we've got a few F/X cars, so far (back in a minute)

As someone called it, Camaro Stock got out of control with the body mods and all the same power plants.
Are they going to phase it out in a few years? Do they want to? Do they like getting sued? Those guys aren't going to want to slow back down and run F/X.

Showdown cars are just a slower version of F/X, with automatics, to the guys in the stands. Do they want to phase them back out too? Without new cars to participate, might as well..They can get in on the lawsuit too.
Some of those guys are getting a little long in the tooth, you might say and are not going to want to move up to a Comp type stick shift class.

So where is this all going, except maybe to the lawyers?
Remember Pro/Stock Truck !
