Another thing NHRA, says they discussed this with the Manufacturers, I am sure that was with Chevrolet only, because no one else would come, knowing what they were proposing.
Different bodies, give me a break, the only bodies that will get massaged will be Chevies by the factory, for their cars. Everyone one else will be left behind, thus Camaro only class.

I'm sure it wasn't Chevrolet only. 100% certain.

OK, inquiring minds want to know!

As noted in the release, this move was suggested/endorsed by the Pro Stock team owners. It was also done with the blessing of all three US manufacturers.

Will it fix the underlying issues with Pro Stock? Hard to say at this point but I think most would agree that doing nothing isn't an option.

Also, my personal opinion is that the sky is the limit for Factory Stock racing but I think it's important to manage the growth so it doesn't get completely out of hand. I think the current (2018) format shows a lot of promise with 7 events and stand alone eliminations.

My 2cents

Exactly
I guess they got tired of factoring for Ford and Mopar.
Is Pro Stock bike next?, or is there more parity...
I think its a shame for the class.
hope it helps the cost and participation.
or could this usher in Factory Stock to a new level?
