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

A lot of people love it like it is. Can you imagine any of the present Pro Stock racers being interested in going slower? It's hard for me to imagine anybody interested in normally aspirated engine development not being interested in Pro Stock.

I wouldn't hold my breath until it happens.
