What Pro stock could and maybe should be.

I had proposed something similar to NHRA several years ago as a Jr. Pro Stock, a new heads-up class for sportsman racers. Challengers, Moostangs and Carmaroes, 358, EFI, 90mm single throttle body, NO TUBE CHASSIS cars, must start with a real body. Bodies-in-white are available for all three now. Heads-up would appeal to more fans. I think the move to the tube chassis was the beginning of moving from Pro STOCK to just old PRO and nothing stock. Maybe run them on a 10.5W tire? It seems like a lot of the new SS cars would be able to jump over in a hurry. I'm not in favor of the superchargers. I think that would just make them even faster and maybe force the tube chassis back in for safety purposes. Make them fit templates to keep them looking STOCK! My $.02!
