I think when the rules let up in the 80's and they started letting the Aero bodies run in PS and FC a lot of fan base was lost. I could go on but I'll just address PS as it should be replaced by Factory Stock and only OEM castings used, such as block, heads, intake etc. not billet replacements. They need to go back to 1/4 mile racing slowing down the cars no matter what it takes!!

It’s official, NHRA is dropping PS off the 2019 schedule at Houston, Atlanta, Norwalk, Bristol, Topeka and Epping. Most have no problem drawing plenty of Pro Mods to keep it “interesting” for fans. Would seem that if they were interested in saving the teams $ they would have dropped the Western Swing but that’s obviously not the intent.

So NHRA, you made this Pro Camaro class...how ya like it now?

NHRA's reasoning was to lessen the financial burden on those teams already participating and to increase participation in the class---you already have several racers that have announced their intentions for 2019 and that is "to not compete" in pro stock, so you currently now have less than 16 car fields at almost every race in 2018--with the 2-4 maybe 5 racers that will not be back for 2019---where is this pool of new racers/teams going to come from that will be necessary just to get back to the current number of entries and possibly increase beyond the current level of 15-17 cars per event---NHRA is going to need "at least" 5-7 new drivers/teams---I do not see that happening ---sure you might pick up a local guy for a race here and there but you I don't think are going to pick up what NHRA envisions with this decision---(PRO ) FACTORY STOCK would be maybe the better direction to go but you are going to need "tech people" that know what is legal on these cars---you have 3 manufacturers some use NA engines- some have "blown" engines -some have both kinds of engines--- how do you level the playing field--you have about 90 days to get the (pro factory stock rules implemented and for guys to get their cars to comply with the rules--- or do you put it off until say Gainesville to start ??? MY .02 cents---FED 387
