Am I the only guy who wishes these cars would be "Pro Stock" instead of the current class?

No you aren't. There are many more folks who despise these cars in Stock and Super Stock than there are who want them in. The OEM guys chime in only when there is massaging that needs to be done. History will provide a very dark view of their actions. But what do they care?

Bruce, I think what he means is instead of tube chassis, jellybean, 500 inch Pro Stockers...the factory S/SS cars should be Pro Stock. And I agree...

"instead of the current class" - I can't speak for Joe but it appears that he thinks these cars would be better suited in Pro Stock than running them in Stock. And I agree with that.

Hey guys, I'm new to the forum and new to stock/super stock racing as well. I'm trying to catch up on what has been going on with these new factory stock cars which is how I landed here. Can anybody point me in the right direction as to where I can find more info on the following:

1) I saw an article somewhere briefly mentioning that the current rules made the V10 Mopar drag packs uncompetitve against the supercharged Fords and Chevys, but I can't seem find it again or any other info relating to this.

2) I read something else similar to what has been mentioned in this thread that all of these new factory drag cars are taking advantage of the current rules and really shouldn't be running in the current classes.

Maybe I should just make a new thread, but any pointers on where to go for this info would be appreciated - thanks!

Although Jesse does not mention us - with the V10 now in FS/B (NA class) we will be competitive although the 3500 lbs will not allow us to dominate like those engines less than 450 CI who only have to weigh 3200 lbs

IMHO

Me too....we're thinking the same thing, just in a different way.
