I like 4 drivers in Pro Stock really well and thats 2 of them If the Pro racers didnt turn the class into multi million dollar programs, Which started in the late 70's to early 80's, all the racers today like WJ and KJ could afford to compete Like my buddy said about the pro racers wanting this big $$ class,, Be carefull what you ask for, you might just get it !!!!!! It took some years but now we are here were they cant run in what they made,,,, In My Opinion, i hope WJ and KJ get a sponsor but it probally wont happen |

Boy are you right, they have turned pro stock into a mega bucks deal with electronic shocks and all, they deserve what they get. All three of those pro classes are out of control and now the grim reaper is at their door.

Hopefully Delco will stay with KJ.......Rumor I have heard is that the Professor may race a "Brown Truck"

If all the pro category racers start suffering from the same fate of cutbacks and lack of funding will the NHRA put its racing on hold? I mean who will be left to pull in the fans?

Maybe NHRA will realise the sportman shows are pretty good and promote them a little bit more. Several years ago the National Dragster did a servey on the most popular eliminator 1st was Funnt Car 2nd was Super Stock. Never heard much about it after that.

- N/A - Any compression up to say 13.5:1 - Any engine that uses a factory stroke, can be factory block or aftermarket - Must be 23 degree heads - Any Automatic (no more than 3 gears unless factory equipped), any manual up to 5 speeds - Any rear - Any suspension Basically a Super Stock class where any 23 degree head can be used, any compression, any rods and that would be a Pro Stock class but make it where the engines have to be as follows (GM for example) - 283, 302, 305, 307, 327, 350, 400, 396, 427, 454 Cant be strokers That would put alot of bracket racers in competition with a 427 etc in their car,,,,,,,,, Classes should be run in an index if needed Min race weight for example,, 3200 pounds for small block cars and 3400 for big block cars |
