The cost is ridiculous. Pro Stock has advanced to the point of not being interesting anymore. What part of the car is "stock" anymore. They look more like Pro Mod cars with carburetors. We need to roll back the clocks a few years and make the cars look more like production vehicles.
Same goes for Funny Car. I know that is a little off subject, but it's just how I feel. Just so you know, many of my friends feel the same way. And yes, we are all over 60.

I'm 45 and I agree wholeheartedly that Pro Stock cars should look more stock. I remember when a PS car had to have factory steel roof and quarters with fiberglass replicas of the rest of the parts. They looked like actual cars. When I see the current PS cars, I just shake my head. I actually like Pro Stock more listening to it on the audiocast than I do watching it on TV.
