IMO, the big problem with Pro Stock is that there isn't anything left to the cars that resembles "stock."

The problem with pro stock is how much they cost not how they look.

That's pretty much the problem with all of the classes these days.

without limits on innovations added the cost is open ended. No One can play forever with an open budget....
Set Jr. Stock rules or crate, or spec built by one company and watch the excitement recur.

I think you are wrong Dick. One can go forward but not backward.

Castrol just announced it is leaving John Force Pro Drag Racing next year. If Super Stock can put away the stripe racing and get to attracting spectators instead of turning them off it could be "the way it
was" with a couple of funny cars or dragsters being only for show. Get ready change is coming.

Very good thoughts. And the problem is..not much going to happen until NHRA's checkbook goes into overdrawn status .

AND..Who will then be the FIRST PRO- FC-TF, , PStocker or even ALKY folks ..to tell their sponsor overlords that they will now be competing to go.. slower and we need more $ to do that?
