Sad that this is happening

It is sad. I've always liked Pro Stock and considered it the top of the food chain for NA, gasoline engines. The GM vs Ford vs. Mopar days were great.

The cost of the technology, hardware, people and organization to do it, and be competitive, has gone way beyond what most can spend. And the ROI for sponsoring teams, when the class gets little airtime and is treated like a step-child by NHRA, makes it look like a charity case instead of smart business.

It's hard to put the genie back in the bottle once it gets to this point. I don't know the answer, but I hope they figure out how to keep it viable and interesting.
