Pro stock NHRA unwanted child at the U.S Nationals

Although many want to see Pro Stock take a step back to get closer to OEM, it would be a costly transition. All of the current development would have to be shelved and parity would take a back seat for a year or so. All of the bodies are different, new chassis would have to be developed, and more money would have to be poured into engine development, not to mention the headache of creating fair engine rules for all of the current engine formats. With the parity that has been achieved today, how could you sell the current teams on making this costly transition? Also, would it be worth the change and would it bring enough new fans to the sport to validate the change? I for one do not know if it would be worth it or if this risk would pay off. We have the OEM Copos, DragPaks, and CJ's out now and I don't know if that even that has helped increase the fan base.

In all honesty, it would be better just to create another class and call it OEM Pro Stock and go from there.
