IMO, the big problem with Pro Stock is that there isn't anything left to the cars that resembles "stock."

The problem with pro stock is how much they cost not how they look.

That's pretty much the problem with all of the classes these days.

I don't think you will ever see it go back to the way it was, however, w/ the new copo camaro, challengers, and cobra jets they appear more like old school pro stock to me!

Very good thoughts. And the problem is..not much going to happen until NHRA's checkbook goes into overdrawn status .

AND..Who will then be the FIRST PRO- FC-TF, , PStocker or even ALKY folks ..to tell their sponsor overlords that they will now be competing to go.. slower and we need more $ to do that?
