Re: Interesting...Jon Asher on Pro Stock and Factory Stock
My opinion, I've watched and raced since the sixtys, back then it wasn't just racing, it was BRAND AFFILIATION, I personally liked Plymouth, if they lost I went home. There has to be something to root for, your hero, your buddy, whatever, not just a race. I remember my first national event, 77 Gators. Loved funny cars but after the last pair went done the track I had enough, it gets old quick.just watching, Pro stock was entertaining then because the Chevys where always chasing Glidden, in the Ford or Plymouth, then the Dodges. Now just Cameros, boring. There was always someone to root for or against. Now it's no different than NASCAR, all look the same, without the decal no telling what car it is. The big three drove racing, now it's a joke. In 3-5 years after they stop making these "factory race cars" what happens then? The old Stockers and Super Stockers are still my period in time so I'll stay there and go down with the ship. The fix, there is none, they're done. Like Brad Pitt said everything changes, nothing stays the same.

Re: Interesting...Jon Asher on Pro Stock and Factory Stock
I could go either way, Dodge or Plymouth. Sort of like both kinds of music, Country AND Western. The Jenkins Vega was the beginning of the end of PS for me. That was a big move away from Stock and they just starting calling it PRO. More opportunity to cheat and modify the cars and get to where the bubble aero cars we have today. I thought Freeman was spot on about the aero being needed for safety. At some point for safety they would have needed to go to the tube chassis. I thought the comment about the Factory Stock cars already being too fast was interesting as well. They should have their own class and go to bigger tires, 10.5"? The comments about the difficulty of getting sponsorship at the end of the interview was interesting. It's not there for most teams.
