16 car fields and as their own eliminator...exactly the way it should be!

Re: Factory Stock Showdown expands to seven events in 2018
I believe the first 7 second run will be at a non NHRA event. Reason, track prep will not be a compromise between T/F, F/C, and Pro Stock. The track will be prepared for dead hook all the way to the finish line.
Factory Showdown was good at St.Louis. A lot of the teams had a much better handle on suspension and engine management. It will be a very good show next year! With Factory Showdown having its own eliminator the DNQ's should not be able to invade Stock eliminator, this will make most of us happy. |

Re: Factory Stock Showdown expands to seven events in 2018
Having their own eliminator is great and future expansion to beyond seven events is probably a certainty. Pro Mod will probably expand more as well...only downside I see is that quotas for the rest of Sportsman classes might decrease.
As for the first seven, would not be surprised to see it at the Dutch next weekend. Weather forecasts change by the hour of course but looks to be VERY fast so I'm planning on going if only to spectate.

Re: Factory Stock Showdown expands to seven events in 2018
I like it!
Since they are now in their own eliminator, I would like to see them get a little more tire. Is there larger size that would fit all the cars with out modification? I don't enjoy tire smoking runs any better in FSS than I do Top Fuel. However if the stocker tire is all that will fit all of them, I think that is the way it should stay. Bill |
