Interesting...Jon Asher on Pro Stock and Factory Stock

As a guy trying to compete in Factory Stock, it is cool to see the support and interest. I like many of Asher's thoughts / ideas but I'm not sure it has to be one or the other with Pro or Factory Stock just yet... or maybe ever.

I think both classes have real merit and both could use some changes to improve the experience of the fans and make them more racer friendly.

I like many of Mr. Bell's ideas also but as currently the only Dodge Challenger, getting down to 3,400 lbs would mean a lot less donuts for me (no more donuts, and that AL block, I might make 3,450), so not sure about that part

but the 10.5" tires fit just fine, ran them in SS last year. I strongly agree that when we don't qualify, we go home, not invade stock. A 16 car field would be nice and would add just one round.

Mr. Teuton's and other's ideas on scheduling would definitely help for racer's trying to sort these running on the edge FS/XX combos out and make it more fan friendly for those who wanted to watch them.

It will definitely be interesting to see how it all plays out. Very glad to be having fun and for now, lucky and blessed to be able to be a part of it in this great country... Happy Birthday USA and Happy 4th to all.
