Default Re: Pro stock NHRA unwanted child at the U.S Nationals

I think that if you could convince current drivers to commit to slowly moving cars closer to OEM, you could possibly make this happen. One of easiest changes they could make is using the OEM wheelbase for all cars and keep more of the original street equipment in the front clip, and rear(grille, lower lights, rear lights etc) . I don't think the engine rules should be revamped however. Scoops should remain, and once the teams as whole want to change over to EFI, they will do so. I believe that's a change that will happen, just not as soon as what people like.

If its gonna happen, its has to be a slow transition and all teams have to agree with the direction of appearing more like the OEM versions of the car.

PS: I like pro stock the way it is, althoughs the bodies leave something to be desired, I admire the competitiveness, the technology, and the drive to find another hundredth over the next guy. Not mention how amazing those 500 cubic inch monsters sound.
