PRO STOCK is back t0 16 cars
 

GLENDORA, Calif. --




NHRA announced today that the Pro Stock Car category will feature 16-car fields at all 24 NHRA Mello Yello Drag Racing Series national events in 2018. NHRA came to this decision after a collaborative and productive meeting with several Pro Stock drivers and teams. The group discussed a few initiatives that would serve as alternatives to NHRA's previous decision to run 8-car fields at nine national events.
One of the ideas from the meeting involved the possibility of including a new engine platform that NHRA's Tech Department is evaluating. NHRA will continue to work with Pro Stock teams and manufacturers this year, carefully evaluating key metrics and supporting initiatives to generate interest.

"We all share a common goal to make the Pro Stock category grow," said NHRA president Peter Clifford. "It's exciting to see that the teams came to us with collaborative ideas and started an open dialogue that resulted in new solutions

My first impression, could they be modernizing??? Say OEMish...LS, Coyote, Gen3 Hemi + Blower???

CWjr said on fb the talk was any brand engine in any brand body. Time will tell I guess

LS crate engines with power glides should reduce costs & interest dramatically

Finally productive meetings with owners, teams and racers. I hope they don’t go bigger.

Maybe a throttle stop could help.

That would ruin Brand Rivalry. Talk about going backwards. 👎🏻
