Pro stock NHRA unwanted child at the U.S Nationals

I guess I like them all. Pro Stock is still good, but they do have a little lookalike problem similar to Nascar. They just trick. Need a little emotion like the Enders picture thing, or maybe a sustained and often staging battle, or some po boy winnin, some drama like we always got drama, new cars, old cars, leaf blower cars (I like that better than hair dryer) cars nobody made, cars everybody made, cars everyone wishes it was theirs, cars nobody wants, pretty cars, ugly cars, we gottem all. I bet we collectively got more Beer than they got. You gotta like that.

I think that if you could convince current drivers to commit to slowly moving cars closer to OEM, you could possibly make this happen. One of easiest changes they could make is using the OEM wheelbase for all cars and keep more of the original street equipment in the front clip, and rear(grille, lower lights, rear lights etc) . I don't think the engine rules should be revamped however. Scoops should remain, and once the teams as whole want to change over to EFI, they will do so. I believe that's a change that will happen, just not as soon as what people like.

If its gonna happen, its has to be a slow transition and all teams have to agree with the direction of appearing more like the OEM versions of the car.

PS: I like pro stock the way it is, althoughs the bodies leave something to be desired, I admire the competitiveness, the technology, and the drive to find another hundredth over the next guy. Not mention how amazing those 500 cubic inch monsters sound.
