Pro funny stock

[buzzinhalfdozen]

Todays pro-stock cars bear basically NO resemblence to the vehicle their supposed to represent.That's not to say they can't but they already had that class, the "imports" front wheel drive 4-5-6 cyls. with "hair dryers" on them, I believe I've heard that class no longer exists. People don't really care that the Cobalt prostocker doesn't look like theirs sitting in their driveway, they are there to watch the heads up racing that they can somehow identify with because they announced " the Cobalt versus the GXP". When you tell people something long enough they WILL start to believe it even if they know it's not real. As far as the $ figures being thrown around, Yes racers being racers I'm sure many would look for some sort of way to gain an advantage no matter what the cost.The santioning bodies would have to issue strict specs for what could be used, which properly done would probably wind up saving most teams money in the end. I've never heard any numbers on what a team spends just on carbs but I'm sure it's quite high. As for the hood scoops what the heck Detoits been putting them on cars for years, yes not as big and mostly not functional but still a way of saying factory muscle, as with most things the racers have pushed it to it's limits. Don't like the scoops.... race Stock. Joe
