Or a 69 COPO and a 2012 COPO or a Hemi Dart and a Drag Pack. They have definitely increased interest in Stock Eliminator so whether I like them or not, I like them.
I would LOVE to see the FS/XX thing become 21st Century Pro Stock BUT NHRA has an incredible knack for ruining things by changing them to make them better. The "hot lick" with people younger than me right now is the "Street Outlaws" and "no prep" stuff and by leaving the 9" tires on the cars, the "tuners" are the ones winning some of the races not the guys throwing the most money at the track.

No difference really? That is not what Stevie Wonder said ,,,,, Nc ports, manifolds hand made, 4 link and on,,,, Just because you change maybe the glass, hood, deck lid and more its still a FS car under the wrap and has no business in A-Z stock! .
IMHO, no real Performance Class racer cares about big tire, small tire, no prep or Sesame Street Outlaws. |
