Pro Stock

[Pete Lanciers]

I was indeed fortunate to witness as a young man the evolution of the individuals, teams and technology that emanated from the ranks of SuperStock and Modified Production that gave birth to Pro Stock. I too have a been a rabid life long fan and now morn the loss of what was always IMHO the greatest Eliminator.

"I cant imagine anyone that races and does not like pro stock" Mike change does to did and I'm in violent agreement with you!

"No room in the rules for true innovation" Lenny, altering the rules to give one manufacturer the advantage made true innovation irrelevant and unattainable for anyone not choosing to run a BowTie.

"In Factory Stock, you'd get to see all three manufacturers, the fans can identify with them and the runs are unpredictable" Billy right there with you brother, but like many here I see the handwriting on the wall with NHRA failing to lead by whether wittingly or unwittingly acquiescing to rule changes dictated by those intent upon giving themselves an unfair advantage.

I too want nothing more than to see NHRA succeed, but repeating past failures and emulating those of other failing Motorsports Sanctioning bodies...read NASCAR. Will not result in the success we desire, again just my humble opinion.
