Cool Re: What Pro stock could and maybe should be.

OK.....Then what would you do in all your infinate wisdom. Where will the current teams be when and if Pro Funny stock just goes away like Pro Stock truck. Without BIG corporate sponsorships and corporate money being thrown at NHRA for the class they will be left holding the bag. An empty one at that. It couldnt get much more boring than it is now. They all look alike. GM dosent have a current body style (will the Camaro ever appear?), Ford dosent seem to care, and Dodge?????? They are not even helping the stockers. Stay with restricted engines (one carb or throttle body, 4 speeds instead of the very expensive Liberty 5 speeds, and OEM bodies. Sure they will be slower but still in the low 8's to high 7's and some of you high rollers could even play with the super stars. You always whine about being treated like red headed step children in stock and S/S.
But dont worry.....NHRA will NEVER change from it current heading until its to late.

If it costs 3 Million to campaign a current P/S car if you reduce the costs to 1 Million the current teams could scrap 2 million in parts and still break even, plus you would add teams.

Or, put the current teams on notice, the rules change in 2013, use up you stuff and don't repurchase.

I grew up with Pro Stock from its inception, the current class holds no interest to me what so ever. These cars look nothing like "Stock".

Just the opinion of a cranky old man
