I like it when people use the term "step up" - You mean spend at least $200,000

If you can afford that - contact me I could use a loan ..

It would be better to keep it in stock eliminator and not go into the pro classes.

At least if it were Pro Stock they would be real Stock not the jelly beans !

If the FS/XX were to evolve into the "new " PS then the one requirement NHRA should stick to would be that all body panels conform to the same shape and measurements as factory produced cars.

Just my opinion

even better they have to stay just as they are no more tube chassis cars with panels attached. just like they are built now real cars.

i think it would be nice if nhra made an east coast division and a west coast division. gather points to qualify to race at indy and settle it there.

There's nothing Stock about Pro Stock except the brands

I’m also curious what everyone thinks it takes money wise to be competitive. I know what many have in theirs and what I have in mine. Curious what everyone thinks it takes from the outside looking in.

*note took an 8.18 to make the bump last race on the NHRA side. NMCA is an all run field and it also took a 8.0-8.1 to win.

I can't wait to attend Indy. 35+ cars attempting to qualify will be like the good old days of pro stock.

Jody, I agree 100%. I attend Indy every year for all 6 days, but this year will be extra special.
