"Indy Observation" In Stock Elim.

Since the beginning of Pro Stock, it was my favorite class. Over the past several years, as the Pro Stocks have gone the route of Funny car....perhaps a slight resemblance to a production body, my interest has deteriorated.
Why not re-engineer Pro Stock based on these new factory muscle cars and reinvigorate the excitement in doorslammer racing that was the basis for this great sport. Hell, have a 64 car field and get the juices flowing.
After a 43 year career in the auto industry, the one constant was change. If your organization did not constantly look ahead and navigate the ever changing marketplace, you were doomed to fail. Creativity and a bit of risk taking are ingredients to success.
The new cars are a great addition to the sport. They just need to find the right home for them to compete in. I hope the leadership (another key success factor) of our sanctioning bodies is equipped to deal with this need. If not, like in other businesses, get the right leaders in place and move forward.
