It would be kinda neat to see PS a EFI V-8 class based on current production engine families.

Aftermarket blocks ok, but must be based on a production vehicle V-8.

The cu.in. might be the limiting factor, but a GM LS 6.?L, a Ford Coyote 6.?L, and a Mopar 6.?L V-8 deal.

I'm sure it will never happen, but maybe 20 years from now NHRA might consider using EFI....someday.

Running a top tier heads up class is incredibly expensive no matter what. The NHRA has done a reasonable job of attempting to rein in expenses, but when there are guys in the class with bigger budgets than you, they are gonna find ways to spend it. Crying because you can't afford it accomplishes nothing.

Maybe Larry should have talked to Glidden before jumping on the Ford bandwagon.
Really? Larry's work ethics are nothing short of "exhausting". Larry is anything but a crier, he is simply a straight shooter who is telling it like it is.

The supercharged Super Stock or even the Stocker engines aren't far off from current Pro Stock power levels. Put em under the hood, keep the weight at 2350, then make the cars look like cars again and there you go, Pro Stock revived.

X2. Amazing to see folks criticize hard working racers like Larry and Ricky Smith. They represent decades of contributions to Pro racing.

A comp racer friend of mine once said that the reason that Pro Mods are so popular is that they go boom on occasion. I'm not sure that is the only appeal. I know this-they have fewer races in NHRA,so that must hold down costs and at their last two races, they have had huge fields and it was tough to qualify.

Not a big fan of any Pros or Pro Mod, but I think part of the Pro Mod appeal may be variety of body styles and paint jobs....PS too corporate and sterile.....characters as well, not corporate spokesmen

Excuse me , but what exactly did they "contribute"........I believe "participate" would be the correct term...............with the exception of the occasional innovation , its generally ( with most ) always "participation".

Your friend is dead wrong.
this sums it up better:

", but I think part of the Pro Mod appeal may be variety of body styles and paint jobs....PS too corporate and sterile.....characters as well, not corporate spokesmen ".........
All the corp. crap adorning bodies is a big turn off.
